He reviews plans for celebration of 75th anniversary of Independence
Unsung heroes and the significance of lesser-known monuments in the Capital associated with the freedom movement should be highlighted as part of the upcoming ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’ programme being organised by the Delhi government, Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal said on Thursday.
Mr. Baijal issued these instructions at a meeting held to review the ongoing programmes and plans in Delhi for the celebration of the 75th anniversary of Independence. Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and senior government officials were present.
The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
