The stage is all set for the 77th Independence Day celebrations at Field Marshal Manekshaw Parade Ground in Bengaluru. All eyes are on the event, as a new government has taken office and this will be the first time Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will address the state on Independence Day in his second stint. His speech is expected to have political overtones, as it comes in the run up to the upcoming Lok Sabha polls in 2024.
Chief Civic Commissioner Tushar Giri Nath said all preparations had been made for the Independence Day celebrations and around 1,500 children from various schools in the city would perform in cultural events at the venue. Mr. Giri Nath and City Police Commissioner B. Dayananda and Deputy Commissioner, Bengaluru (Urban) oversaw the final rehearsal for the event on Sunday morning.
