Holi celebrations: PMC issues precautionary measures; sales yet to pick up in shops at Mandai

Hindustan Times  

PUNE The Pune Municipal Corporation has released precautionary measures for Holi, which will be celebrated on March 17-18. The measures include lighting smaller bonfires in open grounds, keeping senior citizens and children safe, taking extra precautions in slums, keeping water buckets nearby during the burning of the bonfire and taking necessary precautions in housing societies that have gas pipelines among other safety measures. Holi sales yet to pick up in shops Mandai wore a deserted look with hardly any shoppers buying colours, timki, a round drum and khanjiri. “Even the rates of the items needed for Holi are expensive like earlier cow dung cakes we would get in 1,000s now we have got only 100 and even they are not getting sold at Rs50 for three pieces,” Mahadik said. Also, Holi parties are planned across the city in resorts and open grounds, but organisers say sales are yet to pick up and organisers feel that the tickets should sale within a day.
