Anticipated Participation of the Prime Minister
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to participate in the Dussehra celebrations organized in East Delhi's IP Extension on Tuesday. According to sources, meticulous preparations are currently underway at the venue to accommodate the potential visit of the Prime Minister. It is noteworthy that numerous locations across Delhi host grand Ramlila and Ravana effigy burning events annually. Prime Minister Modi has a history of attending several prominent Dussehra celebrations in the national capital.
Previous Engagement Highlights
The Prime Minister has previously graced multiple high-profile Dussehra events in Delhi. In 2024, he joined President Droupadi Murmu at the Ramlila celebration organized by the Shri Dharmic Lila Committee near the Parade Ground close to the Red Fort. Prior to that, in 2023 and 2019, he attended the Ravana Dahan ceremonies held at Sector 10 in Dwarka. However, his scheduled visit to the Dussehra event in East Delhi's Patparganj last year had to be called off due to heavy rainfall.
