Guthi Sansthan, the Indra Jatra Management Committee and 29 Guthi Khala have started the preparation works for the famous Indra Jatra festival.
The committees have already started maintenance works of three chariots--Ganesh, Kumari and Bhairav.
Gautam Shakya, president of the Indra Jatra Festival Management Committee, said that the festival would be celebrated this year by following all the health protocols, like the previous year.
Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) will provide Rs. 23 million through a one door system to make preparations and celebrate the annual festival of the Kathmandu Valley.
The KMC has not allocated separate budget to the committees even though preparation works for the festival have already begun, said Shakya.
