Chamba’s Minjar fair got international status

Minjar Fair is famous all over the world. This is the reason why this fair is known as International Minjar Fair. But this time it has been given the status of international level by CM Jairam Thakur. He said that I am very sorry that the Chamba fair was not given international status till now. It has not yet attained international status.

When the CM asked the district administration for complete information in this regard, he was surprised to know that the status of this fair is still at the national level. It has not been given international status. Sadar MLA Pawan Nayyar had also made a demand to give international status to this fair. While announcing this, the CM stamped his demand.

Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur congratulated the people of the state and especially all the residents of Chamba district for celebrating the historic Minjar Mela with full enthusiasm and traditional manner for centuries. Minjar festival is a symbol of Hindu-Muslim unity. Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his Mann Ki Baat program made a special mention of Chamba Minjar, Sawyer Fair and Jagra Mela being celebrated in the state.
