A first in 34 years, Surajkund mela cancelled
For the first time since it became an annual ritual 34 years ago, the Surajkund mela, the fortnight-long spectacle of handicrafts that brings together artisans from various states, has been cancelled because of the pandemic, leaving a gaping hole in February culture calendar. While the Haryana government will review the situation in April, the decision has left artisans, who were looking forward to an opportunity to turn in profits after a very difficult year, disappointed.
Govt nod must for police use of DTC buses
With 45 public transport buses getting damaged on January 26 during the farmers’ tractor rally, Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) has been asked to take the government’s permission before providing buses on hire.On the Republic Day, 40 buses of DTC and five buses of the Cluster Scheme were damaged when protesting farmers deviated from the pre-decided routes for the tractor rally. “Many of these buses were hired by Delhi Police for transportation of its personnel but were also used as barricades to stop protesters.
