President Ram Nath Kovind urged the people to bring happiness in the lives of poor by lighting the lamp of love, care and sharing.
"Greetings and best wishes to fellow citizens on the auspicious occasion of Deepawali. Let us on this day try to bring happiness in the lives of those who are less fortunate and needy by lighting the lamp of love, care and sharing," President tweeted.
