KARACHI: The much awaited Lahooti Melo, which was supposed to take place this week has now been postponed to February due to the harsh winter wave and expected rain in Jamshoro Sindh.
According to a press release, regardless of the team being fully prepared to kick off festivities on the 17th of January, it is extremely tough for the labourers to carry on with their tasks.
"We feel that we should not risk the health and well-being of our workers, speakers and attendees," it said.
"Our team has worked immensely hard to bring you the best line up of performers and speakers based on our theme 'Eco, Not Ego', so we hope for your cooperation."
The new dates for the event are February 14, 15 and 16, making it the first time the festival will carry on for three days. Living up to its reputation for promoting global social issue within local context, the fifth edition of the festival carries the theme of climate change.
Going under the hash tag #Econotego, Lahooti Melo would feature experts from diverse backgrounds participating in panel discussions and workshops.
