Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, March 9-
The vibrant celebration of Hola-Mohalla at Sri Anandpur Sahib and Sri Kiratpur Sahib is set to take place from March 10 to March 15, 2025. In a bid to ensure the safety and well-being of the devotees, a comprehensive ban has been imposed on the use of speakers on tractors and trucks during the festivities.
Announcing this, SSP Rupnagar, Gulneet Singh Khurana, said that police administrations across all districts in Punjab have been informed to issue instructions to SHOs and Traffic Incharges. These instructions will be passed on to representatives of truck unions and panchayats, prohibiting double-decker trucks/vehicles, large speakers on tractor trolleys, pressure horns on motorcycles, and motorcycles without silencers from entering Sri Anandpur Sahib and Sri Kiratpur Sahib during the Hola-Mohalla celebrations.
Additionally, strict actions will be taken against those violating traffic rules and laws. Vehicles found causing noise pollution will have their speakers removed on the spot before being allowed to proceed further.
