Nagpur: Just like festivals in the last 41 days, there will be no celebrations of 60th Maharashtra Day in the city on May 1. Only a flag hoisting programme will be organized in the premises of Collector office.
Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) deputy municipal commissioner Nirbhay Jain in a circular said, “There will be no programmes to celebrate the state’s foundation day at the head office or ten zone offices or other departments. Mayor used to hoist flag every year to mark Maharashtra Day at head office and zonal chairpersons at ten zones. The state government on April 22 had issued a notification giving directives to celebrate the occasion in a simple manner considering Covid-19 epidemic and its threat. Therefore, there will be no programmes at the NMC.”
