Janmashtami fairs may not be allowed: Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani

AHMEDABAD: Chief minister Vijay Rupani has hinted that fairs accompanying the Janmashtami festival might not be allowed this year in view of the ongoing pandemic situation in the state.
Speaking to reporters, the CM said, “A decision in this regard will be taken at the appropriate time. But the first priority of the government will be to ensure that crowding does not take place. `Kadaach melaao na pan thaay’ (maybe the fairs might not happen).”
The CM said that Rajkot collector has not permitted holding of the Janmashtami mela this year as well because of the ongoing pandemic situation.
