A controversy has erupted over the cancellation of a Garba event in Nagpur, with conflicting reports about the reasons behind the decision. Organizers claim that the event was halted due to a lack of No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP), while police officials state that the event was stopped for not adhering to safety protocols. The disagreement has sparked debates about the role of religious organizations and law enforcement in regulating cultural events. Community leaders are calling for a transparent investigation into the matter to determine the true cause of the cancellation. They emphasize the importance of preserving cultural traditions while ensuring public safety. The incident has highlighted the need for clear guidelines and communication between event organizers, religious groups, and authorities to prevent misunderstandings in the future. #news #Newsone #NagpurNews #GarbaEvent #EventCancellation #VHP #PublicSafety #CulturalEvents #CommunityDebate #IndiaNews
In a significant move, the Delhi government has extended the permissible use of loudspeakers until midnight during the ongoing Navratri festivities, a departure from the usual 10 PM cutoff. This relaxation, effective from September 22 to October 3, 2025, applies to Ramlila, Durga Puja, and Dussehra events, responding to long-standing requests from organizing committees. The decision aims to balance cultural traditions with public health concerns, ensuring that celebrations can proceed without disturbing residents. However, this extension comes with strict conditions. Organizers are mandated to obtain prior permission from the Delhi Police and must adhere to noise pollution regulations, including maintaining sound levels below 45 decibels in residential areas during night time. This measure underscores the government's commitment to preserving both cultural practices and the well-being of Delhi's residents. #news #Newsone #RekhaGupta #NavratriCelebrations #Ramlila #DurgaPuja #CulturalEvents #LoudspeakerPolicy #CommunityNews #PublicDebate
The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has urged garba-dandiya event organizers to permit entry only to Hindus, insisting that participants show their Aadhaar card and apply a tilak before entering. Meanwhile, BJP MLA Rameshwar Sharma of Huzur, MP has said non-Hindus wishing to join garba during Navratri should first “return to the Sanatan fold” and perform rituals such as applying tilak, drinking Gangajal, and performing aarti. Critics warn these demands violate secular and inclusive norms, especially as they use identity proof like Aadhaar and religious rituals as prerequisites for participation. #VHP #Garba2025 #NavratriCelebrations #ReligiousIdentity #AadhaarDebate #TilakControversy #HinduRituals #RameshwarSharma #SanatanDharma #SecularismDebate #ReligiousFreedom #CulturalEvents #SocialDebate #IndiaPolitics #News #newsone
