In the spirit of flexibility and understanding the public mood, the government of Andhra Pradesh has relaxed certain restrictions during the Sankranti festival. This move aims to enhance community spirit, particularly in rural areas where the stricter rules under the YCP government were reportedly dampening the festive atmosphere.
The loosened regulations have led to a resurgence of traditional activities such as cockfighting, which had previously been restricted. Furthermore, large-scale celebrations have been permitted in cities like Guntur and Vijayawada, contributing to vibrant Sankranti events.
Moreover, the government has allowed liquor shops to remain open during this period, a decision that is likely to be welcome news for many. This move marks a departure from the previous administration’s stricter approach towards such activities.
The Andhra Pradesh government’s decision to relax restrictions during Sankranti reflects its commitment to balancing public interest and regulations. As the festival unfolds, it remains to be seen how this change in approach will impact the overall spirit of the celebrations.
