Events and Festivals in New Town

Last week, we had an administrative meeting with police, engineers, transport, Hidco amd NKDA officers to deal with the anticipated rush of visitors on 24-25th Dec 2017 and 1 Jan 2018.
Footfalls in Eco Park and surroundings are increasing by the day especially in this festival season and new attractions such as the Seven Wonders and Light-n-Sound Shows at the Sculpture Garden, the footfalls are more by several degrees compared to last year. On top of this, a mega musical event (Arijit Singh Show) on 24th Dec which is a Sunday and the Christmas Eve will make things quite unmanageable unless we plan for it.

Some of the measures that will be taken in this period include additional 20 ticket counters, deployment of police officers and civil officers, manning of watch towers, setting up of May I Help You Booths, additional blocks of temporary toilets and special car parking and lighting arrangements. Additional 100 or so buses will also be deployed on special days.

Given below is a list of events that will happen in this part of the year. Incidentally, yesterday, Hon'ble CM took a meeting of ministers and secretaries of various departments at Nabanna for necessary actions for the BGBS 2018 on 16-17 Jan 2018 which will be held at BBCC at New Town
