Maharashtra’s first drone light show to celebrate PM Modi’s birthday in Pune postponed to tomorrow

“A grand drone light show and live musical concert will be held at S P College Ground as part of the Amrit Mahotsav, 75th birthday celebration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Heavy rain in the last few days and possible rain on Tuesday were likely to disrupt the show, so it will now be held on Wednesday,” said Mohol.

The show featuring thousands of drones studded with LED lights will be visible in a four-kilometer radius, he said, adding that arrangements are being made to ensure that citizens enjoy the show without any problem.

“It aims to offer a glimpse of the vision of a developed India. The 3D drone show will last for 45 minutes, and around 1,000 drones will showcase the achievements of the Modi government, along with Pune’s social, cultural, and historical landmarks. The journey towards a developed India envisioned by Prime Minister Modi will be depicted,” said Mohol.

The show will illustrate India’s progress through multiple drone formations in the Pune skies, he said.

Earlier, Mohol had said this would be the first time in Maharashtra that a drone show is organised on the lines of that held in Ayodhya and Varanasi.

He had said that the birthday of Modi would be celebrated across the country through various initiatives under the ‘Seva Pakhwada’ (Fortnight of Service) starting September 17.

The minister said that there will be other events prior to the show, including an Assistive Aid Camp for the differently-abled, which will distribute 1,750 assistive devices to over 1,200 beneficiaries for free.

Renowned singer and music composer Avadhoot Gupte will perform a live concert.

Also, 75,000 students from Pune will send postcards with birthday wishes to Prime Minister Modi. Messages from students of various schools across Pune will be compiled and sent directly to the Prime Minister, said Union Minister Mohol.
