Mysuru: The Independence Day rehearsal march was held at Bannimantapa Ground in the City on Saturday August 13 ahead of 75th anniversary Independence Day celebration on Monday August 15.
Mysuru Commissioner of Police Dr. Chandragupta received the salute at the Independence Day rehearsal march. DCP (Law and Order) Pradeep Gunti, Parade Commander K. N. Suresh and Deputy Parade Commander P. Sasanuru were present on the occasion.
The rehearsal programme was held with the participation of various police contingents of Mysuru including the Mounted Police, NCC Cadets of Army, Air and Navy wings, National Service Scheme volunteers, cadets of Scouts and Guides and band groups.
Owing to pandemic conditions, the Independence Day on 2020 and 2021 was a low-key affair. But with the condition improving now, the State Government has decided to have a full-fledged I-Day this year.
Independence Day march was also taken out from Bannimantapa Ground to Kote Anajaneyaswamy Temple near the North Gate of Mysuru Palace.
