Statue of Unity Boosts Tourist Experience with Weekend Police Band Performances

In a move to enhance the visitor experience at the iconic Statue of Unity, the Statue of Unity Area Development and Tourism Regulatory Authority has introduced weekend police band performances. This initiative, set to begin from 7th October 2023, will feature the SRP Unit of Police presenting their performances every Saturday from 6 to 7 pm at the Statue of Unity premises and on Sundays at the Ekta Food Court adjacent to the Children Nutrition Park.

The decision comes as a part of the authority's continuous efforts to increase the entertainment and attraction facilities for the vast number of tourists frequenting the location. Gopal Bamania, Additional Collector of the Statue of Unity Area Development and Tourism Regulatory Authority, highlighted Ektanagar's evolution into a global tourist destination. Under the supervision of Mukesh Puri, Chairman, and CEO Udit Agarwal, the newly introduced police band shows will be free for all visitors during the weekends.

Adding to this initiative, the authority has also decided to keep the Statue of Unity complex open on upcoming public holidays that traditionally see the monument closed. Notably, the Statue of Unity complex, which is usually closed on Mondays, will be accessible to tourists on Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti on 2nd October, Guru Nanak Dev Ji's birth anniversary on 27th November, and Christmas Day on 25th December. This decision ensures that tourists and their families can immerse in the rich heritage and attractions of the Statue of Unity even during public holidays.
