Sai Utsav 2000 is being organized during the thanksgiving weekend. Thanksgiving happens to be the biggest travel season in USA as it marks the start of the holiday season. Airports will have their busiest travel day of the year on the eve of thanksgiving. Attendees are advised to make their travel plans in advance and keeping this in mind.
