The West Bengal government has recently prohibited Holi festivities at Sonajhuri Haat in Santiniketan to safeguard the region’s lush greenery. This ban comes as a precautionary measure to prevent any harm to the environment. Banners have been put up by the authorities, urging people against parking their vehicles or partaking in Holi celebrations in the area. The decision to enforce the ban is influenced by the close proximity of Sonajhuri Haat to Visva Bharati University, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This move aims to preserve the ecological balance of the region and protect the natural beauty of the surroundings. Visitors are advised to adhere to the guidelines set by the government to ensure the conservation of the environment.
