providing relief and rehabilitation to refugees. He is still known as
Patron Saint of India’s Civil Servant for introducing Modern All India

unifying the then British Provinces and more than 500 Independent
Princely States, under the Indian Independence Act, 1947, making the
country a strong Nation and a United India.
Chief Minister said that the observance of National Unity

and traditions amongst various inhabitants of the country, we can
build a strong nation defending our unity, integrity and security by
following the path of our great leaders. He added that the State

between hill and valley regions and move forward to bring inclusive

Organisations to contain the spread of the pandemic.
In this regard, a new Standard Operating Procedure(SOP) will be issued
