Air Show on Cuttack Kathajodi River for Biju Patnaiks Birth Centenary
The Ministry of Defence is agreed to have considered favourably the Odisha Government’s proposal for conducting an air show as part of Biju Patnaik centenary celebrations. State’s Sports and Youth Services and Information and Public Relations Department said a plan has been jointly chalked out to organise an air show by Indian Air Force personnel on the vast stretch of Kathjodi riverbed in Cuttack in December this year.
Notably, the State Government has undertaken an year-long celebration starting from March 5, to make the birth centenary year of the former Chief Minister of Late Biju Patnaik. Biju Patnaik was an aviator par excellence, known for his daring display of courage in evacuating stranded Britishers in Burma to safety during the second World War.
