Civic Body Asks Public to Follow Funeral Procession Rules
Imagine a funeral procession on the road.
Sometimes, these processions can cause problems like traffic jams or accidents.
The Oulgaret Municipality wants everyone to follow new rules, just like the Madras High Court said.
These rules are about making sure that the processions don't cause trouble for others.
Things like throwing flowers or setting off firecrackers on the road are not allowed.
Instead, people should put the flowers and decorations on the side where the burial will take place.
If people don't follow these rules, they might have to pay a fine when they register a death.
