He read the statement of accounts and thanked the Bilimora Anjuman for their support.
Addressing the gathering, Chief Guest Wadia spoke of truth and transparency as the main qualities of any accounting work, which he shared through his many years as a banker. He was happy to see Zarthostis from all over attending the Gambhar at Chikli. He spoke about the principles of Humata, Hukata and Harveshta, and praised several Parsi personalities for bringing pride onto the community.
