The Governor also stated that harmful tendencies are the demons of modern times, comparing them to the evils Lord Ram defeated on Vijayadashami after the nine days of Navratri. He added that wherever the Gujarati community settles, Navratri is celebrated with great fervor.
Mayor Smt. Malti Rai appreciated the Gujarati community's efforts towards building an ideal society, maintaining cleanliness, protecting the environment, and ensuring compliance with traffic rules. She highlighted that if all communities in Bhopal took similar initiatives, the city would become even more beautiful and vibrant.
