The
Bombay High Court has restrained the Maharashtra government from
releasing water from Gangapur dam for the friday's Shahi Snaan in the
ongoing Nashik Kumbh Mela as many parts of state are facing a drought.
The direction came during the hearing of a petition filed by H M Desarda, a professor from Pune, against the state's decision to release one Thousand Million Cubic water for every 'Shahi Snaan' during the Kumbh Mela even though many parts of Maharashtra are facing a drought.
A division bench of the Court said that the state government will have to take prior permission from the court if it wanted to use the dam water for Kumbh Mela.
The court said that water can be released for drinking and other necessary facilities, but not for the holy dip in river
Godavari during the Kumbh Mela.
