Saryu Roy’s intervention leads to unified procession in Mango
Jamshedpur, Mar 29: A significant development occurred in Mango regarding the Hindu New Year procession. Initially, two separate processions were planned, but MLA Saryu Roy stepped in to mediate and proposed a unified march instead.
On Saturday morning, Hindu Utsav Samiti patron Upendra Singh Mastan and Hindu New Year Procession president Sarvjeet Tiwari met with Saryu Roy at his Bistupur residence. Roy expressed his concern over the idea of conducting two separate processions, considering it unnecessary.
Following discussions, both groups agreed with Roy’s suggestion and consented to organize a single grand procession. They also requested him to lead the event, a responsibility he gladly accepted. As a result, the combined rally witnessed enthusiastic participation from members of both groups, ensuring a harmonious and spirited celebration.
