“Like every year, this year also there will be a formal celebration by government officials and dignitaries. However, in order for corona infection prevention guidelines to be adhered to, it is equally important to adhere to restrictions on gathering of people in order to prevent the spread of corona. All visitors will also be screened,” said an official.
