Congratulations, Shri Ajay Bhalla Ji @BhallaAjay26, on being sworn in as the Governor of Nagaland. We look forward to your leadership and guidance in advancing the State’s development and progress. Wishing you a successful and an impactful tenure in service to the people.
During my recent official tour to Russia, I visited the awe-inspiring Saint Isaac’s Cathedral in St. Petersburg. Lit a candle and offered a silent prayer for our People — for Peace, Harmony, and Collective Progress.
One of the largest Orthodox cathedrals in the world, Saint Isaac’s is renowned for its magnificent golden dome, grand neoclassical architecture, and exquisite interiors. Built in the 19th century, it continues to inspire with its beauty and spiritual presence. The panoramic views from its colonnade are simply breathtaking.
Wishing everyone a Blessed and Peaceful Sunday.
Proud Moment for Nagaland🥋
Heartfelt congratulations to Ms. Hinokali and Mr. Kitenlo K. Thono on being selected to represent India at the 9th Asian Pencak Silat Championship 2025, to be held in Ha Tinh Province, Vietnam, from 23rd to 31st July 2025.
This marks a historic first for Nagaland — our athletes qualifying to represent the country in Pencak Silat at the continental level!
🌟 Kitenlo hails from Ehunnu Village, Tseminyu District
🌟 Hinokali is from Izheto Village, VK Town, Zunheboto District
Both earned their place after winning Gold in Tanding (Match) at the 13th Senior National Championship in Lucknow. They are also proud medalists of the National Games.
Dear Hinokali and Kitenlo — this is already a remarkable achievement. As you step onto the mat for India, know that you carry with you the prayers, pride, and blessings of all of us.
May the Almighty be your strength and shield.

Visited Chümoukedima
Football Stadium; one of the venues for Nagaland Super League. Interacted with footballers training for the League. Looking forward to Nagaland's 1st professional league under @NagalandOlympic, @NagalandNFA, & supported by @IndianFootball. Best wishes to all.
Visited the old bridge at Chümoukedima that used to connect to Kohima. Built during the British era and with materials from the UK, this bridge has history written all over it. It connected a very remote part of the world to the rest of the sub-continent and was an important lifeline for the British Empire.
During the 2nd World War, it ensured movement of logistics and reinforcements, and till the new bridge came, it remained as a lifeline for both the states of Nagaland and Manipur and beyond. It has tremendous tourism and experiential potential and we will all work collectively towards that destination with a strategic and sustainable master-plan.
Called on the Hon’ble Minister of Finance and Corporate Affairs Smt. @nsitharaman Ji, along with Deputy Chief Ministers Shri @YanthungoPatton and Shri @TRZeliang. We discussed about important development projects for further strengthening Nagaland’s economic growth.
