Every year, Statehood Day is celebrated on a grand scale in Ranchi and elsewhere in the state with a series of programmes, ranging from sporting activities to cultural and entertainment events to mark the anniversary of the creation of a separate state of Jharkhand.

A statement on the order was issued by the state cabinet and the coordination department.

Ranchi deputy commissioner Chhavi Ranjan told TOI: “On Statehood Day, chief minister Hemant Soren and other dignitaries will pay floral tributes to the statues of Bhagwan Birsa Munda in Kokar and Birsa Chowk.

Major government buildings will also be decorated with lights to celebrate the occasion.

However, no other programme will be organized.” An official with the state information and public relations department (IPRD) said: “We will not host any big programme on Statehood Day in the interest of public health.”
