ITANAGAR, April 24 - Arunachal Pradesh Governor Brig Dr BD Mishra (retd) has conveyed his greetings to the people of the State, particularly the Tangsa and Puroik communities, on the eve of their annual festivals, Moh-Mol and Gumkum Gumpa respectively.
In his message, the Governor said that since time immemorial, the Tangsas have celebrated Moh-Mol with great joy and merriment, which is essentially an agriculture-related festival signifying harvesting and the new sowing season of crops. They have continued this age-old tradition, generation after generation.
