Former President of India, A.P.J.Abdul Kalam’s Death Anniversary: July 27
Odisha government has formally named the Wheeler island in Bhadrak district as ‘APJ Abdul Kalam Island’. The revenue and disaster management department issued a gazette notification after obtaining no objection certificate from the Ministry of Home Affairs. Odisha government has named the island as a tribute to the former president on his second death anniversary.
Dr.Kalam had an emotional attachment with the interim test range at Chandipur in Balasore district and Wheeler Island in Bhadrak district. He had spent most of his time in these two places as part of his efforts to develop missiles for the protection of the country.
