Nod for gatherings to be given in day

Chandigarh, April 26

The Haryana Government today streamlined the procedure for providing permission to organisers of public gatherings in consonance with the current Covid containment guidelines.

Additional Chief Secretary, Revenue and Disaster Management, Sanjeev Kaushal, said the organisers of social, academic, sports, entertainment, cultural, religious, political functions and other congregations would submit their application in the office of the Deputy Commissioner (DC) in any suitable form – in hard copy or through e-mail on official e-mail ID provided by the DCs. The office of the DC would, on the same day of the receipt of the application, send the soft copy of the application through e-mail to the Commissioner of Police, Superintendent of Police or Deputy Superintendent of Police, Sub-Divisional Magistrate, and Municipal Corporation, Council or Committee concerned, for obtaining a no objection certificate (NOC). If the office concerned does not have any objection, they would provide their NOC by 11 am the next day. In case any office fails to provide the objection on the application by 11 am, the application would be deemed to have been cleared. — TNS
