Punjab News Muktsar: Maghi Mela: An entertainment fair beyond the realm of fairs Admin January 13, 2025January 13, 20253 min readWrite a Comment on Muktsar: Maghi Mela: An entertainment fair beyond the realm of fairs > Gursevak Singh Preetsri Muktsar Sahib, 12 January Preparations for Mela Maghi are going on in full swing. After the religious darshan-bath, every Meli also goes to the entertainment fair and also buys from the market, but even this fair will be heavy on the pockets of the Melis. The ticket to enter this entertainment fair on Malot Road has been set at Rs 40, while last year it was Rs 30 and before that it was Rs 10. This ticket is for entry only, further there will be separate tickets to see other performances like swings, magic show and death well, which ranges from 50 rupees to 100 rupees. Balwant, an organizer of the fair, said that the cost of the ticket is decided according to the cost of the fair. He said that this entertainment fair has been bought from the Red Cross for one crore four lakh rupees. After this, electricity, water, cleaning and security charges are different, so as the cost increases, the ticket also becomes more expensive. He said that two-three have been damaged due to rain. Although the administration had promised to harvest rain water and clean it, nothing has been done so far. The swing owners who came to the fair said that they came from Himachal and UP. The swing ticket is fixed by the contractor, who gets a commission on the number of tickets sold. He said that due to the expensive fair sold by the administration, their earnings have also decreased. Some fairs said that children ask to see the fair every day, but due to the expensive tickets, they cannot see the fair even once. They have demanded the administration to waive the fair ticket. Security arrangements complete: SSP District Police Chief Tushar Gupta while issuing the route plan to enter the fair said that complete security arrangements have been made. On the day of the fair, complete arrangements have been made for vehicles coming from Kotkapura Road, Bathinda Road, Malot Road, Abohar-Panniwala Road, Jalalabad and Ferozepur Road to park and proceed outside the city so that traffic is not disrupted. 15 Emergency Police Assistance Centers have been set up. About 80 gates have been installed. CCTV cameras, dog squads, divers, first aid teams, cranes and other arrangements have been made.
