A grand event is set to be organised in Pune to mark Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 75th birthday, Union Minister of State for Civil Aviation and Cooperation Murlidhar Mohol said on X (formerly Twitter) recently.
While PM Modi will celebrate his birthday on September 17, this event in Pune will be held on the evening of September 16 at SP College Ground. On this occasion, a 3D drone show, a musical concert and an aid camp for the differently abled will be organised.
3D drone show
Mohol said a drone show named “Jyotine Tejachi Aarti” will be organised. This 3D show will last for 45 minutes, and around 1,000 drones will showcase the achievements of the Modi government, along with Pune’s social, cultural and historical landmarks. This will be the first time in Maharashtra that a drone show will be organised on the lines of shows in Ayodhya and Varanasi, he added.
Avadhoot Gupte concert
Popular Marathi singer and music composer Avadhoot Gupte will perform live at the SP College Ground. 'Jai Jai Maharashtra', 'Meri Madhubala', 'Halu Halu Chaal', 'Zenda', 'Pari Mhanu Ki Sundara', and 'Jabraa Fan' are some of his famous songs.

Moreover, 75,000 students from the city will send postcards with birthday wishes to PM Modi. These postcards from students of various schools across the city will be compiled and sent directly to the PM.
