The Steel City is buzzing as it prepares to welcome President Droupadi Murmu tomorrow. Local administration has finalized arrangements for a grand reception at the airport, marking the beginning of her day-long visit.


To ensure airtight security, the District Collector has declared key locations—including the Rourkela Airport, Tribal Museum, and Circuit House—as "No Drone Zones" and "No Fly Zones" until the morning of the 22nd. Unauthorized aircraft or drones are strictly prohibited in these perimeters.


Today, senior officers and central forces conducted a massive parade rehearsal stretching from the airport to Panposh, testing every link in the security chain. With rehearsals complete and restrictions in place, Rourkela stands ready for the arrival of India's First Citizen.

The visit promises to be a significant milestone for the region, celebrated with both state-level precision and local fervor.
