Petition In High Court Against New Year Celebrations

A petition has been filed before the Telangana High Court challenging the orders of the state government allowing people to hold New Year celebrations.

In his petition, the petitioner alleged that the government had ignored the orders of the HC imposing restrictions on New Year celebrations.

He also alleged that the state government had violated epidemic acts and disaster management acts by allowing celebrations.

He said that the government was acting in an arbitrary manner instead of focusing on containing the spread of the Omicron variant of the novel coronavirus.

Informing the HC that the state had registered 62 Omicron cases, he urged it to strike down the orders of the state government allowing celebrations, and impose restrictions on New Year revelry.
