Later speaking to the media persons there at the ceremony venue City Commissioner Md Jawed Hussain said, “It’s a great historic day for all of us. People of Jharkhand will always cherish the martyrdom of Bhagwan Birsa Munda.”
“The birth anniversary of Bhagwan Birsa Munda coincides with the Sthapana Diwas of Jharkhand today November 15. I extend my good wishes to our people of state,” added Jawed.
The Jharkhand Story correspondent asked the City Commissioner if the Sthapana Diwas celebration may be a low-key affair despite the voting being over in Palamu but there continues the enforcement of the model code of conduct to which the City Commissioner said: “The model code of conduct is enforced, nevertheless we will see if some cultural shows are arranged.”
The event was attended by the district social welfare officer Neeta Chouhan, district public relation officer Dr Asim Kumar, deputy collectors Vikram Anand and Rashmi Ranjan.
