Nagpur: For the second year in a row, the old incident Ravan Dahan, which was almost seven decades in the land of Kasturcand Park (KP) had been canceled, but this time there was another reason other than Covid-19.
Source in Sanatan Dharm Yuvak Sabha (SDYS) said the confectionate resistance district to allow the number of participants who were ‘desirable’ to make the process of navigating the bureaucratic labyrinth to get non-desired NOCs.
Despite the initial nod derived from the inheritance committee, the Secretary Joint Season, Prashant Sahni said that this green signal was only the beginning.
“It’s a long way from here because we need NOC from almost seven different authorities,” Sahni said.
Sahni claims that one of the important nocs, from City Cops, has been given.
“We have asked permission for 500, but approval is given for 100.
However, we think that somehow we can hold events,” Sahni said.
The turning point came during a meeting with the R Vimala district collector.
Members of Season, who were present during the meeting, said, “Before officially applying for permits, we wanted to discuss it with Madam.
But he rather varied by quoting the threat of the third wave and said that three people, one for each efigsi, might be permitted.” Finally, SDY Decided not to apply for permission and stop the process of finding NOC from other authorities too.
The cost of organizing the event is estimated between RS 5-6 Lakh, the funds raised by SDYS.
Logistics costs and efforts for participants who can be ignored in the end “are not worth the effort” and it was decided to cancel this year.
In a press statement, Secretary of Sanjeev Kapoor and other office carriers such as Narendra Satija, Gautam Sahni, Ashish Dhawan etc confirmed that Ravan Dahan will now be held in the place of their organization in Kadbi Chowk.
Ravan’s five feet Effigy will be burned before 20 SDYS office carriers.
