Bhubaneswar: With a few days left for President Droupadi Murmu to visit Odisha to take part in the Indian Navy Day event as chief guest in Puri, the Puri district seems to have all prepared for the event.
Puri Collector Siddharth Shankar Swain emphasized the need for cooperation from visitors to make the event a success. The district administration is working closely with the Indian Navy and local authorities to ensure the event runs smoothly.
Talking to the media, Puri Collector said, “The Indian Navy is set to showcase its maritime capabilities and operational strength on December 4 at the Blue Flag Beach in Puri to mark Navy Day which coincides with Prez Murmu’s visit. As part of the measures, drones will not be flown from December 1 to December 4.
He further stated, “As aerial operations will be held, the administration has declared no flying zone. Special care will be taken to ensure birds will not fly during the aerial operation. Besides, people residing near the beach have been asked not to feed birds on the rooftop as part of measures to save birds. Besides, boating is not permissible in that locality during the operations. We need cooperation from visitors to make it a successful event.”
The event, dubbed OpDemo2024, will showcase the Indian Navy’s multifaceted competencies and enhance maritime awareness among the public
