During the flag-hoisting event, BJP MLA and former minister Punnulal Mohle was a chief guest, who were joined by Mungeli Collector Rahul Deo and Superintendent of Police Girija Shankar Jaiswal. Each of the three guests was given a pigeon to release.
While the pigeons released by the MLA and the Collector soared into the sky, but, the one let go by the police chief did not take flight. Following this mishap, the senior officer questioned the organizers about this mistake. Thus, embarrassed, the organizers quickly provided another pigeon, which this time, was released successfully by the officer.
But unfortunately, the police officer later sent the letter to the district collector requesting action regarding the incident. Reports PTI.
