In a press statement issued on Thursday, he said that it had been decided in a recent meeting that the Tourism Department would provide funds to the district administration for holding the event, while Chitral Scouts, local police, and Gilgit-Baltistan police will provide security assistance to the local administration.
He said the provincial Tourism Department had been providing funds for Shandur Festival since 1982, which was still going on unimpeded.
