BMC Mentioned Key Points On X
Holika Dahan
Do not cut trees. Instead Holika dahan should be done in the traditional way using dry wood.
Wood, plastic, rubber, tires and other hazardous materials dyed using chemical agents should not be used in Holi. Because the smoke and pollution generated from such elements are harmful to health.
Housing societies, local group groups should burn Holika in a safe and environmentally friendly manner.
Embrace Natural Colours
Use natural (herbal) and organic colours that are safe for the skin. This is especially important for young children.
Artificial colors may contain chemicals and other heavy metals. It also harms health and water resources. So they should be avoided.
Save Water & Avoid Noise Pollution
While celebrating Dhulvad and Rangpanchami, dry colors should be preferred as much as possible. Save as much as possible by using water responsibly.
The sound of instruments and music etc. should be within such a limit that no one is disturbed.
BMC also added that "Noise limits should be observed especially in hospitals, residential areas and sensitive places. Let's celebrate Holi, Dhulvad and Rangpanchami in a pleasant atmosphere and in an eco-friendly, safe manner".
