Nagaland Statehood Day was celebrated with respect and cultural pride at Lok Bhavan in Agartala today. Tripura Governor Indra Sena Reddy Nallu extended heartfelt greetings to the guests from Nagaland and highlighted the deep cultural heritage and traditions of the state during his address.
The Governor spoke about Nagaland’s rich tribal customs, vibrant festivals, and enduring legacy that continue to shape its identity within the Indian Union. He emphasised the importance of preserving cultural roots while embracing progress and democratic values.
Speakers at the event recalled that Nagaland became the 16th state of India on December 1, 1963, following the passage of the Nagaland State Act, 1962. A democratically elected government assumed office the following year, marking a new chapter in the region’s political and administrative history.
