Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav cancelled his participation in the Rang Panchami Ger celebration in Indore after a tragic accident claimed the life of a young man on Wednesday.
The streets of various cities in the state, including state capital Bhopal, Indore, and Ujjain, have witnessed grand processions being taken out, spreading Gulal on each other and dancing. The festival attracted scores of people participating in the celebration.
People drenched in colour and celebrating the festival with Gulal and dancing, were seen clearing the path for the ambulance going through their procession route.
To ensure the safety and smooth conduct of the event, the district and police administrations have made comprehensive security measures. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav is also scheduled to participate in the decade-old tradition of Rang Panchami Ger to be organised here on the occasion.
