It is gathered that the event is going to be bigger and better this time and the newly elected MLA of Vijayanagara, Anand Singh, is keen on leading the two-day event.
Speaking with this regard an official from the district administration informed, “We have submitted a proposal of 9 crores to Tourism and Kannada and Culture Departments. We are hoping for a positive response. In the last edition of the Hampi Utsav (March 2018 ) six lakh people had attended the event. This time we are expecting more numbers of visitors.”
Meanwhile, another official said, “The administration is working hard to make the event a grand success. Around 30 different communities have been formed for the smooth conduct of the Utsav. Security will be tightened and CCTV cameras will be used for keeping an eye on miscreants.”
