As the festivities celebrations return with grandeur after two-years hiatus, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Tuesday, September 27, has announced exemption for use of loudspeakers on Navratri festival till midnight on the weekend.

The decision was taken by CM and Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis after a discussion in a meeting that took place this afternoon.

According to an official statement released by the Maharashtra government, in addition to October 3 and 4, Mumbaikars will be allowed to play garba and dandiya until midnight (12 am) on October 1 this year.

This development came after MLA Prakash Surve has written to Chief Minister Eknath Shinde seeking a relief on time curb for playing garba and dandiya during 9 days of Navratri.

For those unversed, people are allowed to hold garba and dandiya till midnight only on the last two days of the festival in Mumbai.

It is pertinent to note that after Shinde-Fadnavis government came to power it has removed all restrictions which paved the way for the grand celebration of Dahi Handi and Ganapati festival after almost two years in the state.

He pointed out that the garba-dandiya is being organised in the state and in North Mumbai in which people from all religions participate.
