Uttar Pradesh’s Shahjahanpur is gearing up for its unique "Joota Maar Holi" celebration, with authorities taking preventive measures to maintain communal harmony. Ahead of the grand "Laat Sahab" Holi procession, popularly known as the "Laat Sahab ka Julus" on March 14, nearly 67 mosques along the route have been covered with tarpaulin to prevent any disruptions. The district administration, in coordination with religious leaders, implemented the move to ensure that the mosques remain untouched by colours or footwear during the revelry. The "Laat Sahab" procession, featuring a symbolic bullock cart parade, draws massive crowds as part of the centuries-old tradition. Visuals circulating online show several mosques wrapped in blue and yellow coloured tarpaulin, sparking discussions on social media.
