Winter carnival to be extended to 10 days

The Shimla Winter Carnival is set to be a grand affair this year, as the Municipal Corporation has decided to extend the carnival from one week to 10 days.

Recently, Mayor Surender Chauhan held a discussion regarding the same with Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu at a meeting to which the latter reportedly gave his nod.

Chauhan said an official meeting would be held with the officials and departments concerned in the coming days. “During the meeting, the roadmap for this year’s carnival will be formulated,” he said.

Last year, a week-long carnival was organised in the capital from December 25 to 31 for the first time. The carnival featured cultural performances and other attractions.
