Similarly taluka level celebration of these two occasions will take place at some village in that taluka not necessarily taluka headquarters. Even municipal corporations and municipalities will celebrated these festivals not at their head office premises but in some ward.

This decision has taken by the state government, and ahead of the 15th August these directives are conveyed to respective offices.

Taluka and village centers having tourism interest will get priority. Respective guardian minister, secretary and collector will be consulted before selecting the center. Ahead of the celebration, drives for 100% recovery of pending government taxes and cleanliness will be kicked off.
