We should choose what builds peace and unity rather than self aggrandisement. " sons or daughters of Balikumbat should not be indifferent to collective efforts on issues of development as "a child does not guard his father’s compound from the roadside. What belongs to you, keeps you awake. Balikumbat belongs to us all, so we should be awake".
