Bhubaneswar: Due to the prevailing Covid-19 cases, the Odisha government has decided that there will be no parade on Independence Day.
“In view of the COVID-19 pandemic in the State, Govt. of Odisha have discouraged large gatherings along with several other preventive measures to contain the spread of the disease like previous years. In wake of the above, changes to the usual schedule need to be undertaken to ensure maximum safety of guests as well as participants,” an official notification said.
