IMC Clarifies Fair Venue After Protest Over Land Ownership
The city government in Indore made a mistake on a paper that said where a fair was going to be held.
The paper originally said the fair was at the wrong place, but they fixed it to say the right spot.
People got upset because they thought the government was wrong about who owned the land.
The mayor said that the government really does own the land now, after a court decided the issue.
The fair will happen at the Dhobi Ghat ground, from July 6th to 8th.
Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) corrected an error in a fair permission letter.
The original letter incorrectly listed the venue as Karbala Ground.
The fair is scheduled for July 6-8 at the Dhobi Ghat ground.
A protest was staged by the Hanuman Chowk Dhobi Ghat Maidan Raksha Samiti.
Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargav confirmed the IMC's ownership of the land.
