Bokaro: The Bokaro picnic spots on Friday remained crowded as revellers thronged popular spots like City Park, Garga Dam, Konar Dam, Cooling Pond and Tenughat Dam to indulge in some New Year merriment. As the picnickers danced, sang and cooked, they were found violating the Covid-control measures across all the spots.
A jubilant Gayatri Sinha, who was spotted picnicking in one of the aforementioned spots, said, “We should forget the past and step into 2021 with nothing but positivity and hence, we decided to celebrate today by spending some quality time with our friends and family.”
Even the places of worship, like Jagannath Temple, Ram Mandir, Sree Ayyappa Temple, Gayatri Temple and Navanath Temple, saw a rush of devotees with many of them praying for the virus to go away. Sunil Kumar, who hails from City Centre, said, “I started the first day of 2021 by offering puja and sought the Almighty’s blessings in putting an end to coronavirus.”
