Five-day Visakha Utsav comes to a grand end

The five-day Visakha Utsav ended on Thursday with a grand success. Vijju - the official mascot of the utsav was the first to be lit up in the display. As the dolphin shaped sparkler swung back and forth, it drew loud cheers from the thousands of people who had gathered at the venue to witness the programme. Rockets zoomed and virtually brought daylight at the night as they burst out into floral formations.

Thousands of visitors flocked the beach to have a bite at the food stalls set up by various hotels. Municipal Administration Minister Koneru Ranga Rao who was the chief guest at the valedictory function describe4d the utsav as a 'Mahotsavam'. He released a souvenir brought out on the occasion. MLAs and top officials and non officials participated in the function.
