In his message, the Governor said, “18th June holds a special place in the history of Goa’s freedom struggle.

His inspiring presence at Lohia Maidan, Margao, gave the freedom movement a new momentum and a decisive direction, opening a glorious final chapter in the history of Goa’s struggle for freedom”.
The Governor added, “This occasion also provides an opportunity to reflect upon the remarkable progress Goa has achieved since Liberation. The State has emerged as a vibrant centre of education, culture, tourism and economy development while preserving its unique heritage and identity. The achievements stand as a fitting tribute to the vision, courage and sacrifices of those who fought for Goa’s freedom”.
