Air show to mark Biju Patnaik's centenary

Cuttack: As part of the birth centenary celebrations of former chief minister Biju Patnaik, who was an ace pilot himself, an air show will be performed by the Indian Air Force (IAF) at Khannagar.
In a bid to avoid any incidences where birds collide with aircrafts during the show and are killed or injured, the district administration has ordered Cuttack Municipal Corporation to facilitate the closure of all meat and fish shops within 5 kilometre radius of Khannagar.
Accordingly, the civic body on Monday issued orders to all meat shop owners to shut down their shops till December 23.
Meanwhile, the administration is busy making elaborate arrangements for the air show, which is expected to be attended by more than 3 lakh spectators. Schools and colleges in the city will be closed on December 23 so that students can enjoy the air show. Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik will also attend. During the air show, vehicular movement on the Ring Road will be blocked. IAF's internationally acclaimed AkashGanga paratroopers team will showcase their mesmerising skills.
