Bombay High Court restricts fireworks and sound at Maharashtra processions
The Bombay High Court has banned firecrackers, laser lights and music in festival processions in Maharashtra, requiring organisers to deposit ₹1 lakh and individuals ₹50,000 for permission.
The Bombay High Court has imposed restrictions on festival processions in Maharashtra, including a ban on firecrackers, laser lights and music. The court said organisers and Mandals must deposit ₹1 lakh as a condition for receiving permission under the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000. For an individual, the required deposit is ₹50,000, according to The Hindu.
The supplied material does not identify the festival or processions covered by the order, explain how the deposit will be administered or state the duration of the restrictions. The order therefore combines limits on sound and visual effects with financial conditions for permission. No reaction from organisers or authorities is included.
