SHAS­TRI BOODAN

Sev­er­al se­nior cit­i­zens re­ceived spe­cial at­ten­tion from the Ch­agua­nas Bor­ough Cor­po­ra­tion on Sat­ur­da as part of the ob­ser­vance of In­di­an Ar­rival Day 2020. They were pre­sent­ed with ham­pers, sweets and seedlings.

Ch­agua­nas May­or Van­dana Mo­hit and coun­cil­lors vis­it­ed the el­der­ly at their homes to present them with the spe­cial gifts.

She said it was im­per­a­tive that every­one, re­gard­less of their her­itage, re­mem­ber the role of our an­ces­tors in na­tion build­ing.

"Our fore­fa­thers played a piv­otal role in shap­ing and de­vel­op­ing so­ci­ety at a time when mankind's tech­no­log­i­cal de­vel­op­ment was lim­it­ed and not as com­plex as to­day,” she said.

“De­spite the many changes so­ci­ety is go­ing through, it is al­ways im­por­tant that we con­tin­ue to rec­og­nize their con­tri­bu­tions."
