The administration in Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh, is making extensive arrangements to celebrate the Holi festival peacefully and harmoniously. As a preventive measure against potential disputes, historical mosques, including the Jami Mosque, have been covered with large tarpaulins. This proactive step specifically addresses concerns for mosques located along the procession routes of Holi celebrations. In previous years, an incident where colors splattered on a mosque had heightened tensions in the area, prompting local authorities to act early this time.

To prevent any damage, tarpaulins have been affixed to the walls of the mosques, along with special coatings applied at certain points to avoid staining from colors. To maintain law and order during the festival, a significant police force has been deployed across the city, with ongoing surveillance in sensitive areas. The initiative aims to ensure that the festivities proceed without disruption and foster communal harmony between various groups in the community.

Sambhal's District Magistrate has emphasized the importance of maintaining peace and cooperation during such celebrations, reflecting the administration's commitment to safeguarding community relations during a time often fraught with potential conflict. By taking these protective measures, the authorities hope to mitigate tensions and allow for a festive atmosphere where cultural and religious traditions can be respected and enjoyed by all.
