NEW DELHI: A video of the
Independence Day celebration
in
Chhattisgarh
's
Mungeli district
went viral on social media platforms showing a pigeon released by the Superintendent of Police that failed to fly, drawing comparisons to a scene from the popular web series 'Panchayat' season 3.
Superintendent of Police Girija Shankar Jaiswal in response to the incident demanded disciplinary action against those responsible.
The event, attended by BJP MLA and former minister Punnulal Mohle, collector Rahul Deo, and SP Jaiswal, involved the release of pigeons as a symbol of peace and freedom. While the pigeon released by the MLA flew off, the one released by the SP fell to the ground.
SP Jaiswal wrote, "During an event of national importance like Independence Day, the incident of a pigeon falling on the ground was prominently broadcast on social media. This situation was created due to the presentation of a sick pigeon for flying in the main flag hoisting event at the district level. If this incident had happened with the chief guest, the situation could have been more unpleasant."

The letter further mentioned that a meeting of all department heads was held before Independence Day, where they were assigned responsibilities to ensure the successful completion of the celebration program. SP Jaiswal suggested that the officer responsible for this particular task had not discharged their responsibility properly and proposed taking disciplinary action against them.
