Sir — Festivals in India are a reflection of the country’s cultural and religious richness. Holi is one such important festival. Holi, the festival of colours, is undoubtedly the most fun-filled and boisterous of all Hindu festivals in the country. But it has been observed that residential societies waste a lot of water while celebrating this day.
People must realise the gravity of the situation and avoid wasting water. Moreover, the colours that are used, are mixed with toxic chemicals.
This leads to skin irritation and even cause blindness of the eyes. People should play safe Holi this year with dry colours and also save water.
