A viral video of a pigeon, released by a police officer at an Independence Day celebration𒉰 event in Chhattisgarh's Mungeli district, failing to fly off has sparked♐ outrage.
During the function, BJꦉP MLA and former minister Punnulal Mohle -- the chief guest -- Mungeli Collector Rahul Deo and Superintendent of Police Girija Shankar Jaiswal were handed pigeons to release, i🔥n spirit of peace and freedom.
Though the birds released by th⛄e MLA and the collector﷽ flew off successfully, the one released by the SP fell to the ground.
Outrage from the officials began after the video of this incident went v🌳iral, with several referring to it as a situation sim𒆙ilar to that in season 3 of the popular web series 'Panchayat'.
SP Jaiswal on Tuesday wrote to the collector and sough disciplinary action, news a🅰gency PTI reported citing official sources.
"During a major national festival like Independenc🌠e Day, the incident of a pigeon falling to the groꦏund was prominently broadcast on social media and other media," the SP said in his letter.
He further wrote, "This situation was created as a result of presenting a sick pigeon for f🎃lying in the main district-level programme. Had it happened at the hand꧟s of the chief guest of the function and honourable MLA, then the situation would have been more unpleasant."
SP Jaiswal said that the officer responsi🍬ble for this work, certainly did discha𓆏rge his responsibility properly.
It was reported that 𝐆the bird was found to𓃲 be alive after the fall incident.
