The Bidhannagar Mela (Utsav) will not be held this winter, an official of the Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation said.

The fair is organised every winter by the civic body at Central Park in Salt Lake. The organisers have decided to cancel it because of the Covid situation, the official said.

Vendors from countries such as Turkey, Bangladesh, Nigeria and Pakistan are among the fair regulars.

The decision to postpone the fair was taken during a meeting of the organising committee members, the official said.
