Sir — Festivals in India are a reflection of the country’s cultural and religious richness. Holi is one such festival — it spreads goodwill among people. It is a festival of colours and is undoubtedly the most fun-filled and boisterous of all Hindu festivals.
However, it has been observed that residential societies waste a lot of water while celebrating this festival. Merrymakers also get drunk on thandai laced with bhaang and behave in a rowdy manner.
People must realise the gravity of the situation and avoid wasting water. People should remember that Holi is about spreading joy. A celebration for some should not turn into a nightmare for others.
