The Goa Human Rights Commission recently placed a restriction on playing loud music for the Narkasur festivities within a 100-meter radius of Kamat Arcade in St. Inez, following noise complaints from local residents. This decision has sparked frustration among youth groups who participate in the annual Narkasur celebrations, which are a traditional part of Goa’s Diwali festivities. Local residents and youth groups are urging for a revised, balanced approach that would allow celebrations to continue without impacting the peace of nearby areas.
