Addressing the gathering, Kishore highlighted the significance of Navratri, describing the festival as a symbol of faith, devotion and positive energy. He said Vijayadashami conveys the message of the victory of good over evil and prayed for the happiness, prosperity and well-being of all.

The Finance Minister also felicitated apartment members H.K.P. Singh, B.K. Sinha, Anup Sinha, Ranjit Barnwal and Neeraj Sinha by presenting them with mementoes and shawls.

Mayor Roshni Khalkho used the occasion to emphasise women's dignity, safety and empowerment. She said the nine days of Navratri symbolise women's strength and deserve to inspire respect for women throughout the year, rather than only during the festival.

Khalkho stressed that women must enjoy equal rights, dignity and security in society. She said an environment should be created in which women can step out even at night without fear.

Drawing attention to the importance of mutual respect, the mayor said women should be treated with the same dignity and consideration that people extend to the women in their own families.

She added that the active participation of women in all spheres of life is essential to building an empowered society and achieving the vision of a developed India.

The event combined religious devotion with messages of women's empowerment, social unity and communal harmony, highlighting the role of community celebrations in bringing residents together around shared cultural values.
