Amusement rides can be installed on Vaigai riverbed: HC
The New Indian Express Madurai
|May 03, 2025
THE Madurai Bench of Madras High Court has permitted installation and operation of amusement rides and other entertainment events on the Vaigai river bed at several places in Ramanathapuram and Sivagangai districts in view of the chithirai festival.
A bench of justices G R Swaminathan and B Pugalendhi passed the orders on a batch of petitions seeking the above relief.
In a similar petition last year, the court had directed the organisers to conduct the events at alternate places. But petitioners claimed it would only be feasible if the events are conducted on the river bed, in the vicinity of the temple.
