There were speculations that the MC could cancel the annual event amid the Covid pandemic, but with the cases and positivity rate on a decline, a decision has been taken to go ahead with it, confirmed sources. The final schedule of the festival is yet to be decided.

Also, unlike last year, when only a “symbolic” festival” was organised, sources said most events and services, such as swings, chopper ride and eating joints, are likely to make a comeback this time.
