In SC, Maharashtra Opposes Centre's Suggestion to Allow Small Religious Gatherings as Covid-19 Looms

News 18  

The Maharashtra government on Monday opposed in the Supreme Court the Centre’s suggestion to gradually allow religious gatherings and processions with all safety norms in place. The state government’s stand came forth as a bench, led by Justice L Nageswara Rao, heard a petition by the Nanded Gurudwara management committee to take out a small procession to conduct Dussehra, Takht Isnan, Deepmala and Gurta Gaddi. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, representing the central government, referred to the latest unlock guidelines to point out that the Ministry of Home Affairs has now permitted religious gathering up to 100 persons. After hearing the submissions, the bench accepted the Maharashtra government’s contention that the state administration is best suited to assess the ground situations and take decisions accordingly in view of the pandemic.
