'Ram Baraat' cancelled for 4th time in Agra

For the fourth time in its 135-year-old history, the historic 'Ram Baraat' in Agra has been cancelled in view of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Ramlila committee, headed by Agra Mayor Naveen Jain, took the decision after consulting with the state authorities. According to sources, the event was not organized last year due to the COVID-19 outbreak. It had earlier been cancelled in 1947 and 1948, due to the Partition of India and communal violence.
