Preparations are underway for a festival. Sound systems will be used during celebrations. A chief minister has made an appeal for a traditional and cultural celebration. This appeal was made amid a protest about noise pollution.

The use of loudspeakers is permitted on certain days. These days are when a procession takes place. A notification about this was issued earlier in the year.

Further details about the festival preparations and rules are available. These include information about the days when loudspeakers can be used.
