Jabalpur:As Madhya Pradesh gears up to celebrate the Republic Day, artists from Jharkhand and West Bengal tirelessly work to showcase the country's military might during the event here in the state. The drill has been underway for the past fifteen days with the participation of artists from Jharkhand and Bengal.
They convert steel scraps lying at the Jabalpur municipal corporation junkyard into — tanks, helicopters, gunships, trench mortars, frigates, destroyers and Brahmos missiles and many others, which will be exhibited during the Republic day celebrations here next week.
The Madhya Pradesh government’s bid on this scrap sculpture building was aimed at bringing to life attractive artifacts from the rusted metal scrap. The purpose of creating these artifacts from junk material is to create awareness among people of the country's military arsenal and its fire power, a municipal official said.
The artists are now seen providing the final touches to their artifacts at the Jabalpur Municipal Corporation workshop. A Jharkhand artist Alakh Khare who was working on the project said, "we are focusing on the theme of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav. Besides, the Cleanliness Warriors' theme was also included in the project."
