Supreme Court temporarily lifts NGT's Ganesh Chaturthi 'dhol-tasha' group size limit in Pune.

The Supreme Court of India has temporarily lifted a National Green Tribunal (NGT) order that limited 'dhol-tasha' group sizes to 30 participants during the Ganesh Chaturthi festival in Pune, aimed at reducing noise pollution. The decision allows larger traditional ensembles to perform during the upcoming idol immersion on September 17. The NGT's restrictions had sparked concerns over cultural significance, as 'dhol-tasha' groups are vital to local celebrations.
