Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday wished the people of Manipur, Meghalaya and Tripura on their statehood day and hoped the states will continue to make progress and touch new heights of success.

Extending warm wishes to “my sisters and brothers of Meghalaya,” the home minister said, adding Meghalaya is blessed with stunning natural beauty and hardworking people and the state has made significant contributions to making Bharat proud.

“May the state continue to touch new heights of success,” he said.

In another post on X, Shah wrote, “Greetings to our sisters and brothers of Tripura on statehood day. A proud bearer of Bharat’s heritage, Tripura has evolved a significant contributor to the nation’s growth today. May the state keep progressing and emerge as a role model of development.”
