Srinagar- Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Monday chaired a meeting with the deputy commissioners and senior officers of civil and police administration to review the preparations for Independence Day celebration.
The LG directed the district administrations and the line departments to ensure all arrangements for hassle-free and smooth conduct of the Independence Day events across the Union Territory, an official spokesperson said.
Sinha emphasised the importance of all stakeholders working together to facilitate people’s active participation and meticulous planning of activities and events to honour freedom fighters, unsung heroes and the martyrs.
