Kabutar, ja, ja, ja! To avoid complications
Last week, ET had highlighted the risks faced by Indian officials during 'calls/shows of duty' like Independence Day observances. Recent incidents in Kolkata and Chhattisgarh have drawn attention to the unfortunate events surrounding the release of pigeons as part of the ceremonies. Mungeli district police chief faced embarrassment when his pigeon failed to fly, prompting him to seek disciplinary action. Such incidents serve as a cautionary tale, as seen in a web series, urging officials to focus on enjoying such events rather than getting caught up in formalities.
