Jammu, October 17
The city is gearing up to celebrate a special Diwali this year, as Accession day of the state also falls on October 26.
Maharaja Hari Singh had signed the Instrument of Accession to India on October 26, 1947. However, subsequent anniversaries of the historical event did not witness much celebrations till last year when Chief Minister Omar Abdullah questioned the Accession to India in the Assembly. Residents of Jammu responded by massive celebrations on the day.
The Duggar Vikas Manch has already announced the celebrations on October 26. The Panthers Party has called for celebrations on the occasion this year. Prof Bhim Singh has announced the party would continue celebrating the day on October 27 when the Centre accepted the Accession.
The Duggar Vikas Manch has announced making of a special 6.5 quintal laddoo on the day. Last year, it had made a 64 kg laddoo. Dineshwar Jamwal of the manch said a special jog through the city would be organised on the evening of October 25 in which people of all ages and all walks of life would participate.
The Accession Day Jog would start from Mubarak Mandi Complex and pass through various places, culminating at Mubarak Mandi Complex.
The Flag hoisting ceremony would take place at Mubarak Mandi Complex on October 26, he said.
More organisations are likely to take part in the celebrations, he said.
