Let us play garba and dandiya till midnight every day of this Navratri,” said Member of Legislative Assembly Prakash Surve, adding that this will be the first Navratri after a gap of two years that will be celebrated with grandeur. Surve, who has been organising one of the biggest Navratri celebrations in the city for over 20 years, wrote to Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Monday seeking relief. In Maharashtra, people are allowed to hold garba and dandiya till midnight only on the last two days of the festival.
Surve, Magathane MLA, in his letter to the CM stated, “You, CM Eknath Shinde and Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis, have lifted restrictions for several festivals, like Dahi Handi and Ganeshotsav, this year as these were celebrated in a big way after a gap of two years. So, I am requesting you to give permission to Mumbai and Maharashtra at large to play garba and dandiya till midnight on all days of the festival this year, instead of the stipulated two days.”
