The Independence Day 2013 was celebrated by the Greater Kailash-2 Welfare Association with zeal and zest at M-Block Park, GK-2, New Delhi.There was a huge participation by the residents of all age groups. The excitement of this day could be seen in the huge turn-out of about 250 children and many adults at about 6:00am at the M-Block Market for the mini-marathon.
A little later in the day, at about 9:00am the residents gathered again in large numbers at the M-Block Park for the flag hoisting and cultural programs. The children and adults were well enjoying the flying of tri coloured kites filling the skies with colours of our national flag.
The program began with the hoisting of the National Flag by the Chief Guest Prof. Vijay Kr. Malhotra, MLA. He was accompanied by the Guest of Honour Smt. Sunita Gulliya, Councillor, Special Guests Justice Vibhu Bakhru and Sh. Rakesh Gulliya. The entire GK-2 seemed to have come to a stand-still as a mark of respect to our National Anthem and our National Flag.
Sh. Ashok Bagga, President of the GK2 Welfare Association then addressed the residents and informed them of the achievements of GK-2WA which was appreciated and applauded by all. The stage was then set open for the cultural programs.
The highlights of the program were songs and dance by young children, fancy dress competition by kids who portrayed themselves as various patriotic personalities and last but not the least this program witnessed for the first time, a group patriotic song by the Executive Committee Members of the GK2WA. On this occasion, the GK2WA honoured the residents of 80 plus age with a memento and shawl. The program was followed by light refreshments.
The Independence Day Program ended as a grand success, the credit of which goes to the hardworking and dedicated team of the GK2WA Executive Committee Members who spent considerable time and effort in organising the program without whom, such a wonderful program could not have been possible.
