"They've obtained the requisite permission and the shows have begun," says Sonal Kalra, HT City editor.

There was speculation about how the cancelled shows be accommodated in the already packed schedule of WIFW? Sunil Sethi, the FDCI president had said yesterday: "We have not decided as of now but there are two ways of doing it. Either we will extend the event by a day or we will accommodate today's shows (over the) next four days."

Reportedly, the event was earlier supposed to conclude on Sunday March 28. It will now go on till Monday, March 29.

The official spokesperson of FDCI has confirmed that as of now the plan for Day 2 will be followed as per the original layout. Click here for Schedule
