Delhi govt postpones event to form largest tricolor due to rain, waterlogging

New Delhi: A Delhi government event where students were supposed to build the design of the “biggest tricolour in the world” was ruined by waterlogging.

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced last week that thousands of children will come together seeking to create a world record of making the largest layout of the tricolor on 4 August.

The event was scheduled to be held at Burari Ground but it got postponed due to waterlogging at the venue. The chief minister was supposed to attend the event.

“On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the country’s independence, Delhi’s children were going to form the largest tricolor today. But due to flooding of Burari Ground due to rainwater, this program is currently being postponed. Yesterday, our children also did a wonderful rehearsal for it,” Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said in a tweet in Hindi.

According to an official, around 50,000 children from Delhi government schools were likely to participate in the event.
