Meanwhile, the Republic Day celebration committee of Siaha held its first meeting to chalk out the programme at the deputy commissioner’s office on Wednesday.
Since District Playground, where the celebration was used to be conducted, will not be ready for use on that day, the meeting selected Meisatla field for the venue of celebration.
The programme is scheduled to begin at 8 am.
The meeting also decided to forgo ‘tableau show’ and ‘At Home’ programme on account of the inconvenience of venue’s premises and date, as this year’s Republic Day falls on Sunday.
