Many local villagers and public representatives were present on the occasion. This ceremony organised in Ulihatu became a unique symbol of tribal pride and Jharkhand's cultural identity.
“On the occasion of the 150th birth anniversary of Bhagwan Birsa Munda and Jharkhand State Foundation Day, I pay my hundred-fold salutations to the struggle and martyrdom of Dharti Aaba. Long live Dharti Aaba Bhagwan Birsa Munda! Long live! Long live!” Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren posted on X.
