If high wind and rains do not mar the coming Makar Sankranti festival on January 14, then the Palamu Chamber of Commerce and Industries here will be creating history by holding kite flying celebration on this festival day, said the general secretary of the Chamber here Inderjeet Singh Dimple.
The event has been named Patang Utsav 2021. Singh said a team of six experts of flying kites from Ahmadabad and Mumbai is coming over here with kite kit which includes kit, spool, braid strings etc. Each kite kit is worth Rs.300.
Children in the age group of six years to 15 years are to fly kites after due registration for which a child has to pay Rs.250.
Dimple, one of the organisers, said girls are as free to try their hands on kite flying as the boys.
Sources said this will be the first such kite flying show in Palamu.
The innovativeness of the Chamber here in Palamu is attributed to the president Anand Shanker. The Chamber will hold an LED fitted kites flying show on the eve of Makar Sankranti festival on January 14.
