According to the economic daily, 80% of this yearʼs major festivals are sure to be canceled after the government maintains a ban on music and dance events for more than 500 participants.
This applies not only to music festivals, but also to artistic and gastro-cultural events as well.
The festival industry directly employs 37,000 people and 370,000 indirectly.
