Bhubaneswar: Bali Jatra on Kuakhai riverbank, on the outskirts of the Odisha capital, has been cancelled in view of the COVID-19 situation, informed Twin City Police Commissionerate on Monday.
A decision in this regard was taken to ensure the safety of the public after a discussion with the members of Bhubaneswar Bali Jatra Mahotsav Committee.
