Uncertainty over three decade old Rabindra Mela

Guwahati, Dec 26(UNI) Uncertainty looms large over the holding of Rabindra Mela from January one in Hailakandi district of southern Assam, conceptualized three decades ago to serve as a symbol of integration.
A meeting was convened by Hailakandi Deputy Commissioner Adil Khan with the Rabindra Mela Organizing Committee, principals, head teachers and other prominent citizens yesterday to sort out pertinent issues that have acted as stumbling blocks to holding the fair, as in the previous years from January 1 next.
The meeting discussed threadbare the Gauhati High Court order asking for holding of the fair after exams get over by mid-March next on a case filed by a local resident.
