Amit Shah to Inaugurate DDA's Kite Festival
Union Home Minister Amit Shah will open a big kite festival in Delhi on Friday.
This festival is happening in a special park called Baansera, which is near the Yamuna River.
The park used to be very dirty and full of trash, but now it's clean and green with lots of bamboo trees and flowers.
The park is also hosting other fun events like yoga and music nights.
The park is a great example of how nature can be healed and made beautiful again.
The park is open to everyone, and people are encouraged to visit and enjoy it.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah will inaugurate the third International Kite Festival at Baansera grasslands on Friday.
The event will be attended by Delhi Lieutenant Governor V.K. Saxena and Chief Minister Rekha Gupta.
The inauguration ceremony will take place at Birsa Munda Chowk in Baansera around Friday noon.
Baansera grasslands have been restored from a degraded and polluted area to a green oasis with 30,000 bamboo trees and other indigenous plants.
The park now hosts social, cultural events like the Kite Festival, Yoga events, and musical evenings.
