Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday evening watched a special musical fountain and light show at Futala lake in Nagpur after his arrival in the city.
The floating musical fountain coming up at Futala lake is the brainchild of Union minister Nitin Gadkari, who is the Lok Sabha MP from Nagpur.
Shah along with Gadkari, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and state Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Chandrashekhar Bawankule, among others, watched the trial show of the musical fountain. The fountain show was a blend of mesmerizing laser lights and melodious music.
Earlier, the Union Home Minister was accorded a warm welcome by BJP workers on his arrival at the Nagpur airport on a three-day Maharashtra visit.
