Bordumsa : ‘Once we tend to ignore our own rich cultural heritage and derail ourselves from the track of the culture and tradition, we are sure to invite our doomsday’ said Gabriel D Wangsu one of the outspoken legislators of Arunachal’s 58 Assembly Constituency of Kanubari in Longding district.

Reiterating the cultural significance of celebrating the Tangsa Moh Mol -an agricultural festival, Wangsu with several interesting examples said that greater responsibility lies with the youth section in particular to properly inherit the rich legacy and carry forward dignity and honour of their respective traditions to prolong its life in the days to come.

‘No culture of any society teaches us to adopt drug addiction or disrespect the elders as we see today rampant in modern day society but the menace of addictions or undesirable habits and morale degradation have posed a threat to society and culture’,said legislator Wangsu which needs to be pondered seriously, he added.
