The Chandigarh Administration is going to organize Baisakhi Festival from April 13 to 15 at Rock Garden and other locations in the city.
A Committee headed by Mayor, and consisting of Commissioner Municipal Corporation, Mr. Nekchand, Chief Engineer UT, Director Tourism and CGM CITCO has been constituted for organizing the festival. Day time activities at Rock Garden and evening cultural programmes would be organized on all the three days.
The Baisakhi Festival would be jointly organized by Municipal Corporation and Chandigarh Tourism and will be inaugurated by Governor of Punjab and Administrator UT, Gen. (Retd.) S. F. Rodrigues. Artists of repute from Punjab and other states would be invited to perform in the festival.
Interestingly, although Vaisakhi is the most important festival of Punjab, it is still not an official holiday in Chandigarh, the capital of Punjab
