Forest Minister Anand Singh exuded confidence that Vijayanagar will become a new district by 2021.
Speaking after hoisting a 150-feet height tricolour to mark the Independence Day at 6:15 am at Rotary Circle here on Saturday, he said we got Independence after the sacrifice of several freedom fighters. After Vijayanagar becomes a new district, nation's big national flag will be unfurled at the municipal ground here, he told.
