Kotpad: Today, under the joint auspices of Kotpad NAC and Block administration, and following the directives of the State and Central Governments, a Parakram Shobha Yatra (Valor Parade) and Tiranga Shobha Yatra (Tricolor Rally) were organized as part of Operation Sindhur.
Prominent participants in today’s rally included Kotpad Tehsildar Neelkantha Naidu, EO Pooja Raut, Chairman M. Shankar Rao, BDO Bikram Kumar Dora, Additional Tehsildar Parshuram Bhatara, MP representative Rameshwar Jena, MLA representative Binayak Acharya, and Police Station IIC Paramananda Sunani. The event also saw the participation of all employees of Kotpad NAC and Block, party workers from all political affiliations in the Kotpad constituency, and several local intellectuals.
However, despite being a well-organized and beautiful event, aligned with the Government of India’s directives, it was notable that no high-ranking officials were present. Furthermore, the expected turnout of local intellectuals was also noticeably low. This unexpected scenario has sparked questions and discussions within the local intellectual and political circles.
