Ahead of the Republic Day celebrations, massive renovation works and arrangements for the gala event which is organised at historic Morhabadi ground will kick-start soon. Several temporary structures will be erected for the who’s who likely to attend the programme.
As many as 60 temporary toilets for the general public and two VIP lavatories will be constructed near the venue of the event besides repair and painting works have been ordered by Divisional Commissioner of South Chotanagpur, KK Khandelwal.
The meeting, however, left officials disappointed as very few themes and designs of tableau that will be showcased during the Republic Day parade were presented for approval. Officials have asked other departments to present designs and theme by January 16 to become eligible for display during the event. The Divisional Commissioner instructed electricity department to provide lighting arrangements at tableau construction site and fire tenders to remain stationed at the site from January 18.
Rehearsal of the tableau will take place on January 24.
The meeting was attended by Ranchi DC, Vinay Kumar Choubey; Ranchi SSP, Prabhat Kumar and other officials of the district
administration.
