The Chief Minister observed 2 minutes of silence in front of Bapu's statue from 11 am in honour of Mahatma Gandhi.
The Chief Minister said that today's day means a lot to all of us. Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi may not be among us, but his thoughts and ideals will continue to guide us. His thoughts will continue to inspire the countrymen. Assimilating his ideals in life is a true tribute to him.
