HC accepts Maha govt's 14 yrs age restriction for Dahi Handi
The Bombay High Court on Monday accepted Maharashtra government's proposal that it wouldn't allow children below 14 years of age to participate in the Dahi Handi festival, which witnesses several injuries to youngsters. However, the bench refused to impose any restriction on the height of human pyramid formations during the festival. Notably, since 2014, children below 18 years weren't allowed.
