Bhubaneswar: The Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) Saturday made arrangements for 230 inmates of seven Shelters for Urban Homeless (SUHs) for the musical show of Shaan at .FEST. The residents also tried different cuisine at the International Food Festival (IFF) enclosure of the fest.
Kalucharan Mohanty,76, who visited venue and enjoyed the musical evening and the food at the IFF, said, “The concern by BMC shows that the civic body is always thinking about the inmates of the SUH.”
Bishnupriya Ghadei,35, a mentally challenged inmate, enjoyed the fun-filled musical celebration and also had the “best food” at the IFF. “I am really happy that we are remembered by the city administration when the authorities are organising such a grand event,” she said.
BMC Deputy Commissioner Srimanta Mishra said, “The SUH inhabitants are always at the centre of our attention and we are happy that they came to the .FEST venue and liked the programme and food.”
It may be mentioned here that on the fifth day of the .FEST more than 10 inhabitants of SUH Ganganagar attended the celebrations.
