Even though the COVID 19 cases are declining, the Maharashtra Government on Wednesday issued strict guidelines for the celebration of Holi and Dhulivandan.
According to the guidelines, it will be mandatory to celebrate the customary Holi before 10 pm and thereafter no permission will be granted. This year Holi falls on March 17.
DJs will not be allowed during Holi celebrations. The home department has categorically warned that a legal action will be taken if a DJ is hired during Holi celebrations.
As the 10th and 12th board examinations are currently underway, the department has instructed not to use loudspeakers. Paint or water filled bubbles should not be forced on others especially on Dhulivandan which is on March 18.
The government has appealed to the citizens not to shout slogans that may hurt the feelings of any caste or religion.
The government issued guidelines on a day when 237 new COVID 19 cases, two deaths, were reported in Maharashtra.
