Bhopal: Chief Minister Kamal Nath led government, will observe weeklong celebrations-Sushashan Saptah from December 24- 30 to mark the birthday of ex- PM Atal Behari Vajpayee. Vajpayee’s birthday falls on December 25. An order has been released directing all departments, divisional commissioners and collectors to organise oath-taking ceremony at district-level on December 24.
