Legal Battle Over Sunburn Mumbai Festival Safety
There is a big legal fight happening before a big music festival called Sunburn in Mumbai.
A lawyer named Adv.
Poonam Dilip Jadhav sent a legal notice to the festival organizers because she is worried about safety, especially for kids, and drugs at the event.
She mentioned that there have been problems at the festival in the past, like people getting sick or even dying.
The notice says the organizers need to show they are taking steps to make the festival safe.
The government's human rights group is also involved and has asked the police to make sure drugs are not used at the festival.
The organizers haven't said much about these concerns yet.
Legal notice issued to Sunburn Festival organizers over safety and drug concerns.
Notice cites past incidents, including deaths and drug-related issues, as evidence of foreseeable risks.
Concerns raised about venue's narrow access roads and proximity to ecologically sensitive areas.
Organizers accused of selling tickets without mandatory police permission.
NHRC has also taken cognizance and issued a notice to Maharashtra authorities.
Organizers have 72 hours to submit an action taken report or face legal action.
No official response from the organizers as of now.
