“We are organizing the festival on our own with support from well-wishers for the entertainment of people from Quepem and surrounding areas, as all the people cannot afford to travel to Panjim, Margao or Vasco,” said Kavlekar.
Briefing about the details of the programme to be held this year, he said the ‘Intrumez’ and Khell Tiatr were being held. He also spoke about the musical show on Monday where youth from Quepem would participate in the singing and various other competitions.
