Holi Festivities in Garhwal and Kumaon
Holi fever has taken over both Garhwal and Kumaon regions. People in Garhwal are actively playing Holi, while the festive spirit is equally vibrant in Kumaon. Groups of holiyars (Holi singers) have been going around different areas since morning, singing traditional Holi songs and spreading joy.
Police on Alert Amid Festivities
With the excitement of Holi, the police are also on high alert to ensure safety and prevent any unruly behavior. Since today is also Jumma (Friday) and Ramadan is ongoing, maintaining law and order is a bigger challenge for the authorities.
