This food festival was to be held in the month of May. But there was a controversy about this. The District Administration had postponed the event citing rain forecast.
Editorial viewpoint
Gomata is revered by Hindus. The inclusion of beef biryani in the Government food festival would hurt Hindu religious sentiments. |
