North Bengal development minister Gautam Deb today said the Siliguri Municipal Corporation will organise a week-long cultural extravaganza, called Siliguri Carnival, in the last week of December this year.
“The SMC will organise Siliguri Carnival in association with my department and the SJDA. It would be held to exhibit Siliguri as a cosmopolitan place where people of different caste, creed, religion and culture are living together for years. We will seek participation from folk groups, NGOs, government departments, cultural organisations, artisans and people from different walks of life,” Deb said.
“The town would be decorated and illuminated. Music would be played in prominent crossings and streets to create an ambience of a festival during Christmas and New Year. There would be cultural programmes, handicraft show and a series of other events. After the carnival, the next edition the of Uttarbanga Utsav would be held,” he added.
