While I wish him good health, maybe at 83 he should consider taking more rest rather than jumping back to work immediately. Health should come first for everyone.

The focus on youth employment and entrepreneurship in the Nagaland rally is much needed. Hope this leads to concrete policies. Wishing him strength for his recovery!
