Bhubaneswar: The state-level Independence Day Parade in Bhubaneswar will now be held at the Exhibition Ground instead of Mahatma Gandhi Marg.

Informing this to the media here on Tuesday, Twin City Police Commissioner Satyajit Mohanty said that the Territorial Army, Telangana Police, Central Armed Police and Odisha Special Armed Police will participate in the state-level parade.
