Although no formal notification will be issued, the government has decided to allow a temporary and unofficial relaxation of restrictions to facilitate the public during the Basant festival, according to official sources.

The move is aimed at providing relief to citizens and creating a more festive atmosphere, enabling families and communities to celebrate Basant with greater ease and enthusiasm. Authorities believe the step will help residents fully enjoy the cultural spirit of the festival without the fear of strict enforcement actions overshadowing the celebrations.

Officials said the decision has been taken in the larger public interest to promote social harmony and preserve the traditional vibrancy associated with Basant. The relaxation is expected to make the festival more enjoyable and entertaining, encouraging wider public participation while maintaining overall order.

However, sources clarified that despite the informal ease in restrictions, the administration will remain vigilant, and law-enforcement agencies will continue routine monitoring to ensure public safety and prevent any untoward incidents.
