He highlighted Bhai Dooj as a day when sisters wish long life, happiness, and prosperity for their brothers by applying tilak - a symbolic ritual.

Sukhu urged citizens to uphold the spirit of brotherhood and familial ties, wishing for happiness, good health, and prosperity across the state. Meanwhile, significant state initiatives were unveiled, including a de-addiction center at Kotala-Badoga with comprehensive facilities like sports and rehabilitation programs hosting 100 beds and medical services.
