The registration process for stall plots at the iconic Cuttack Bali Yatra began today, with the Odisha government introducing a new auction-based system to ensure fairness and transparency in allotment.
Officials confirmed that application forms will be available until October 9 at Barabati Palace for a nominal cost of Rs 100. Individuals and organisations may apply for a maximum of three plots each. An initial registration fee of Rs 5,000 per plot has been fixed.
In cases where multiple applicants vie for the same plot, an open auction will determine the final allotment.
