No decision yet on holding Vibrant Gujarat summit Rupani

    Ahmedabad, Oct 28 (PTI) The Vibrant Gujarat Global
Summit scheduled to be held in January next year has come
under a cloud of uncertainty amid COVID-19 after Chief
Minister Vijay Rupani on Wednesday said the government has not
taken any decision on organising the gala event.
    The biennial summit serves as a platform for the
Gujarat government to showcase the state's industrial
development and invite global investments.
    "We have not taken any decision about it as of now,"
Rupani said when asked by a reporter about the fate of the
10th edition of the high-profile summit in the wake of the
coronavirus outbreak.
    The last Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit was held in
January 2019 at Mahatma Mandir in Gandhinagar and the 10th
edition is scheduled at the same venue in January 2021.
    The summit is a flagship government event for
attracting investments in the state and it was started by
Narendra Modi when he was the Gujarat chief minister.
    Till now, as many as 1.70 lakh cases of COVID-19 have
been reported in Gujarat. Of these, 3,704 patients have died,
while 13,354 infected persons are still under treatment in the
state. PTI PJT PD
