The Uttarakhand police department announced that on October 31 every police station in the state will broadcast the Ekta Parade, a national unity programme.
The Uttarakhand police has issued a directive that on 31 October each police station across the state will screen the Ekta Parade, a televised programme celebrating national unity. The announcement was made through an official circular circulated to all district police headquarters.
The Ekta Parade, organized annually by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, showcases cultural performances and messages of communal harmony. By broadcasting it in police stations, the department aims to reinforce the spirit of togetherness among officers and the public who visit the stations.
Police officials said the screening will be synchronized with the national feed and will run for the duration of the programme. Station commanders have been instructed to ensure that audio‑visual equipment is functional and that the broadcast does not interfere with regular policing duties.
The move reflects the state's broader effort to use public institutions for civic education and to promote peace in a region that has experienced occasional communal tensions. No additional resources have been allocated beyond existing station facilities.
