In preparation for the upcoming Ganeshotsav festival, a meeting was convened in Raipur to discuss and establish essential guidelines for a successful and harmonious celebration. The meeting involved senior officials, representatives of Ganeshotsav committees, and DJ/Dhumal operators, aiming to ensure a safe and enjoyable festival for all.
Key Guidelines Discussed:
- Pandal Placement: Officials emphasized the importance of not setting up puja pandals and welcome gates on common roads. This directive aims to prevent any obstruction to traffic and ensure the smooth flow of vehicles during the festivities.
- Parking Arrangements: Ganeshotsav committees were instructed to provide proper parking facilities for vehicles. Adequate parking arrangements can help prevent congestion and ease traffic-related issues.
- Noise Control: To maintain a peaceful environment, officials urged both Ganeshotsav committees and DJ/Dhumal operators to adhere to noise limits. Loudspeakers should not be operated at excessively high volumes, ensuring that the festival does not disrupt the tranquility of residential areas.
- DJ/Dhumaal Operating Hours: DJ/Dhumal operators were reminded to play music within the prescribed noise limits and to cease operations after 10:00 pm. This measure aims to strike a balance between celebrating the festival and respecting the peace and quiet of the night.
The meeting served as a platform for open dialogue and cooperation between officials, organizers, and operators to guarantee a joyous and orderly Ganeshotsav celebration in Raipur. These guidelines seek to strike a harmonious balance between the festive spirit and the well-being of the community.
