Tableau on communal harmony at Independence Day parade

The Bengal Government will convey the message of communal harmony at this year’s Independence Day parade on Red Road. A tableau based on the theme of ‘Ekotai Sampriti’ (Unity is Harmony) will be a part of the parade.

The move to spread the message of communal harmony has been taken keeping the situation in mind after the Basirhat incident.

The theme of the painting competition for school students that the State Government organises every year at the Kolkata Information Centre on August 15 afternoon has also been selected accordingly. It will help in creating awareness among children about the tradition of communal peace and harmony that Bengal epitomises.

Besides the tableau based on ‘Ekotai Sampriti’, there will also be tableaux on the popular schemes and projects of the State Government, like Kanyashree, Sabuj Sathi, Sabuj Shree, Khadya Sathi and Safe Drive Save Life. Fifty beneficiaries of each scheme will be participating in the parade.
