Chandigarh Municipal Corporation to celebrate Teej festival at Rose Garden

Chandigarh, August 11

Despite the threat of a third wave of Covid-19, the local Municipal Corporation will organise a one-day Teej programme at Rose Garden, Sector 16, next week.

The decision was taken at a meeting of the Art, Sports and Culture Committee of the MC held here last evening. The meeting was chaired by Shipra Bansal, a nominated councillor.

Shipra said, “This time due to Covid precautions, no cultural programme will be organised and the final date will be decided on August 14 with the consent of all members of the committee after convening a meeting at the MC office.”

During the meeting, it was decided that a simple function will be organised at the Rose Club, Sector 16, to mark the Teej celebrations and only a ceremonial swing will be installed at the venue.
