People are advised to celebrate the festivals indoors. The Gaura festival falls on August 26 and Teej on August 21 this year.
The local administration has decided to ban all sort of events that bring together a large number of people such as seminars, assembly, workshops and trainings to decrease the infection risk in the district.
