Summary:
Kolkata: The annual firecrackers fair is likely be shifted to its earlier venue at Maidan after the organisers received a go-ahead from the Army and the Kolkata Police. The fair or Bazi Bazar may take place at the Maidan from October 22-27 after the organisers have received clearance from the concerned authority. Last year, the Burrabazar Fireworks Dealers' Association did not receive any clearance from the Army and hence, the venue had to be shifted from Maidan, which comes under the supervision of the Army. The firecrackers' fair started at Maidan in 1995 and was held there since then. It was learnt that in the previous years, traders had to face a loss after the venue was shifted from Maidan..
