New Delhi, Sep 17 (IANS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday thanked people for receiving overwhelming birthday wishes, saying that he felt humbled and honoured for the love he received from various sections of society.

He added: “This is also the time our third term completes 100 days. I am glad that the last 100 days have been marked by a series of pro-people and development oriented decisions, which will add strength in our pursuit of building a Viksit Bharat.”

He said that several people have taken part in social service efforts today.
