Respected Sir/Madam,
I am from Faizabad, U.p. I want to know that is there any permission required about DURGA PUJA every year. Is here any law or judgement about that permission is not required for old traditional religious puja, program, Bhandara, and procession in u.p.
Here local police and district administration giving a lot of pressure to take permission to held puja this year even any committee was practice their puja from 10-20-40 years.
And they were also listed in “MELA REGISTER” prepared by police. Even many of puja committee were get puja permission from High Court in past.
Police also giving huge pressure to bound 5 person of every committee so if there will any riots during puja then they will proceed action against him.
You all kind requested to provide any law to safe value honor of Hindus because police has take no Proceedings for any other religious program other then Hindus.

you have to obtain permission from cops for holding durga puja celebrations . you must be erecting a pandal for the goddess . since there are many visitors you have to take safety precautions . frisk the devotees as they enter the pandal .install cctv cameras if possible .
with increasing polarisation based on religion advisable to take permission from cops
