Viral Video: People wanting to release a dove or white pigeons on joyful occasions to symbolise love and peace is not something that was recently introduced. The practice has been going on for centuries, and is mostly followed at weddings or patriotic events. With the aim to send the same message to the country, a similar ceremony was held on August 15, Independence Day, in Chhattisgarh’s Mungeli. However, the incident turned into a nightmare for one of the guests releasing the pigeon, as the bird seemingly failed to fly. The guest in question was reportedly Superintendent of Police Girija Shankar Jaiswal, whose pigeon instead fell on the ground after it was released. Whereas the pigeons released by BJP MLA and former minister Punnulal Mohle and Mungeli collector Rahul Deo flew away.

A video of the same was shared online, which went viral almost immediately. Apart from its bizarreness, what made the incident go viral was the incident’s resemblance to a hilarious scene from the web series ‘Panchayat 3’.

As per reports, taking it as an insult, the letter was then written to the authorities which demanded disciplinary action against the responsible for arranging the bird. “During a major national festival like Independence Day, the incident of a pigeon falling to the ground was prominently broadcast on social media and other media. This situation was created as a result of presenting a sick pigeon for flying in the main district-level programme. Had it happened at the hands of the chief guest of the function and honourable MLA, then the situation would have been more unpleasant,” read the letter by the SP, that was sent to the Collector on August 20, as per reports by NDTV.

“Certainly, the officer responsible for this work has not discharged his responsibility properly,” the letter further read.
