Sambhal, March 18 (SocialNews.XYZ) The Uttar Pradesh administration has refused to grant permission for the annual 'Neja Mela' in Sambhal, citing concerns over its historical context and objections from some sections of society. As part of the restrictions, the police on Tuesday denied permission to install the traditional green flag at the mela ground. The 'Neja Mela,' held annually in memory of Syed Salar Masud Ghazi, traditionally begins with the installation of a 30-foot pole bearing a green flag.
