The Story in Brief
Revenue Minister A.P. Anilkumar will hoist the national flag at the Kozhikode district-level Independence Day celebrations at Captain Vikram Ground in West Hill on August 15. He will also receive the salute at the ceremonial parade.
As many as 22 platoons comprising personnel from various police units, Excise, NCC, Fire and Rescue, Forest, Scouts and Guides, and Student Police Cadet will participate. The first rehearsal was held on Monday (August 10). Another rehearsal is set for Tuesday (August 11) at 3 p.m. A full-dress rehearsal is scheduled for 7.30 a.m. on August 13. A review meeting was chaired by Sub-Collector S. Gautham Raj.
The Indian Opinion
Some see these rehearsals as mere protocol, but the involvement of 22 platoons from diverse departments signals real coordination. The narrative that Independence Day events are just political theatre overlooks the months of planning by district officials. The real measure will be how smoothly the full-dress rehearsal on August 13 runs, and whether the public attends in numbers.
