KATHMANDU: The Second Tokha festival 2076 has been postponed due to the risk of coronavirus.
The festival was scheduled to be held from March 6 to 8.
We decided to postpone the festival following the WHO warning that Nepal lies in a high-risk zone for possible spread of the COVID-19, said Mayor Prakash Adhikari.
The festival was being held to mark the Visit Nepal Year 2020, aimed at bringing in both domestic and foreign tourists to Tokha.
A budget of Rs. 2.5 million had been allocated for organizing the festival.
