In a recent meeting with the officials concerned, Deputy Commissioner Abhiram G Sankar said, the Jayanti will be celebrated at Kalamandir at 11.30 am.

He also directed the authorities concerned to be prepared for the celebration.
In a press conference, Simha had expressed his displeasure about the celebration and also asked the authorities not to invite him for the Jayanti.
