Very Good Initiative, I request respected SP of Belgaum to educate all other processions in a similar way, Belgaum is the place where you would find unbelievable blend of cultures, the district which serves as a common ground for people from Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Goa is very welcoming and needs such initiative to attract more tourists. Belgaum Tourism will play a very important role in making it the SMART CITY
