This weekend is going to be electric across college campuses in the city as many college festivals are being organised on the same dates. The organisers are now involved in a tug of war with each other in a bid to have maximum number of participants at their events. The organising committee members are doing rounds of colleges to woo participants with promises of star power and big money in the form of prizes among others.
