BMC Warns Against Obscenity at Jatra

Bhubaneswar: The Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) has issued a strict warning against obscene dance performances during the upcoming Khandagiri Jatra in Odisha’s capital.

According to reports, the BMC has directed organizers to conduct the Jatra while upholding its historical tradition and dignity. Any violation of the guidelines will result in strict action, the civic body warned.

“All Yatra committees must ensure their performances adhere to the prescribed guidelines,” stated BMC Commissioner Rajesh Prabhakar Patil.

The warning comes in the wake of a recent incident in Bhadrak, where a woman threw a shoe at a Jatra performance during Kali Puja, leading to a temporary halt in the show. The event resumed only after intervention by the organizing committee.
