💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court has allowed Jharkhand's government and power distribution company to temporarily cut power supply during Ram Navami processions to prevent electrocution incidents. The court asked for minimum power cuts and guaranteed supply to hospitals. The bench took note of the longstanding practice and potential risks associated with people carrying long flags during processions. The decision comes as Ram Navami falls on April 6.
