Kathmandu, Dec 30: President Ramchandra Paudel has highlighted the role of the Tamu Lhosar festival in strengthening tolerance and unity among Nepali citizens.
In his message of best wishes on the occasion of Tamu Lhosar, the main festival of the Gurung community today, the President extended his wishes for peace, happiness, progress, and good health to all Nepali sisters and brothers living both at home and abroad.
