also re-affirrns the inherent strength and resilience of our peopie to withstand
threats to the securify, unity and iutegrity ofthe country.

Diwas Parade, with participation from State police force & CA-pFs, is being
organized on 31't October,2Q20 at tho Statue of Unity, Keva<liya, Gujarat. The
Run for Unity, which was organized last year, is not being organized this year, in
view of covid-19. However, we are hopeful that we shall soon overcome all odds
and will organize the Run fbr Unity from next year on.,vards.

3. The union Honre Ivlinister has ah'eady wr itten to union iVlinisters to

celebrate Rashtiya Ekta Dilvtrs - 2020 with enthusiasm and {brvour (copy

4, In view of spread of Covid-l9 pandemic, while organizing various

progfammes or activities for the Rashtriya Ekta Diwas celebrations, it is impcrative
to follow ceftain preventive rneasures such as maintaining social distancing,
u,earing of maslcs, proper sanitization, avoiding large cr:ngregations, protecting
vulnerable persons, etc,; and olher measur.es as prescribed and recommended by
the Ministry of Health & Family Wetfare, Therefore, all programmes should be
organized in a way that large congregation ofpeople is avoided and technology is
used in the best possible manner tbr celebration befining the occasion. The events
organized could be web-cast in order to reach out people at large, who are not a.ble
to participate. It would also be appropriate that covid-l9 warriors like doctors,
