Mumbai Allows Midnight Loudspeaker Use for Garba During Navratri

Mumbai Allows Midnight Loudspeaker Use for Garba During Navratri

Mumbai is letting people use loudspeakers until midnight for the last three days of Navratri, which is for Garba dancing.

This is a change, because before, the deadline was 10 pm.

The rules say organizers must follow the noise rules and the court's rules.

This means people can enjoy the celebrations and the sounds of the dhol for longer, but they must be careful, especially near hospitals and schools, and in areas that are designated as silence zones.

If the noise rules are broken, the authorities can take action.
