City's iconic govt buildings lit up with tricolour
Patna: Iconic govt buildings surrounding Gandhi Maidan — including Biskoman Bhawan, Gyan Bhawan, Bapu Sabhagar, Shrikrishna Science Centre, and Udyog Bhawan — have been illuminated with tricolour theme to mark the Independence Day celebrations on August 15.
This initiative, led by Patna Smart City Limited (PSCL), aims to foster a sense of national pride and unity among citizens.
Adding to the festivities, the flag hoisting ceremony at Gandhi Maidan will be broadcast live across 15 variable message display (VMD) screens installed throughout the city, ensuring widespread public participation.
The Independence Day parade will feature 15 tableaux showcasing various themes, including social issues and cultural heritage.
"For those unable to attend the parade, it will be live-streamed on VMD screens at 15 locations across Patna city," said a PSCL official.
"The govt buildings are illuminated with blue LED lights on the occasion of Bihar Diwas, pink lights are lit up for women empowerment, orange and yellow for the state's heritage and culture, multicolour for Diwali, and tricolour for Republic and Independence Day celebrations," the official added.
Even other govt buildings on the Nehru Path, including Vishwasaraiya Bhawan, Vikas Bhawan and New Secretariat building, and the flyovers across the city have also been illuminated with tricolour LED lights.
