To ensure compliance with the guidelines laid down by it in 2006, the Bombay High Court on Thursday ruled that all those who wish to organise Chhat Puja will have to compulsorily deposit Rs 1 lakh with the suburban collector.
On October 19, 2006, the HC had ruled that there should be no involvement of political parties in the Chhat Puja and no parties should erect a platform on beachfronts.
The court had also restrained the organisations performing puja from putting up publicity material like banners or posters.
In addition, the HC had imposed restrictions on the use of mikes, loudspeakers and amplifiers during the puja.

I only wish that the courts had given similar order for Ganpati as well. This year i am seeing too many posters of politicians of all parties everywhere on the streets. It remains to be seen whether the parties will do visarjan of the posters as well..
BTW i hope the BMC has taken the chance to collect ad money from the parties putting up the posters. They can use the funds to repair the roads. Or they can use the posters itself to fill the potholes...
Is somebody making list of income sources for BMC. I believe there is seperate think tank somewhere hidden in the BMC office designing all this.
