The Madras High Court ruled that private events for the consecration of the Shri Ram Temple in Tamil Nadu don't require police permission, emphasizing the need for responsible and peaceful conduct. The court left open the option for live streaming of the Ayodhya ceremony. The decision came in response to a petition challenging the denial of permission for a Bhajan and Annadanam event. The state clarified that private functions in certain enclosures need no police approval, emphasizing the importance of Bhakti for peace and harmony, not disturbance. The BJP had previously alleged widespread denial of permission for similar events.
