Special balloons to mark Himachal’s golden jubilee

Chamba, January 23

Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur held a meeting with the district administrations through video-conferencing from Shimla to review the arrangements for the golden jubilee Statehood Day celebrations across Himachal on January 25.

Deputy Commissioner DC Rana said in Chamba district, too, ceremonies would be held at the subdivision level, besides at the district headquarters. Attractive large-sized balloons depicting the golden jubilee year of Himachal Pradesh would be put up at Dalhousie, Khajjiar and Chamba, he added.

He said since the live broadcast of the state-level celebrations would be held in Shimla 11 am onwards, the celebrations at the district headquarters and the subdivision level would start at 10 am and conclude before 11 am so that participants could watch the live broadcast of the state-level function at 11 am. — OC
