To be flagged off at Gandhi Statue, Marina Beach at 7.45 am on Sunday by R Natraj, retired IPS officer and Mylapore MLA, the bus will cover city’s landmarks, places of interest and feature interesting stopovers.

As part of the week-long celebrations, that will end on August 28, many interesting activities are planned - tidbits of the city’s heritage, visits to landmark places, talks on the city and quiz on the city.
