The promoter of Sunburn (EDM) festival, Harinder Singh while speaking to the press was openly heard saying (despite of Tourism Minister Rohan Khaunte's repeatedly assertion that the Sunburn festival won't play music beyond 10 pm at Vagator) that if the government relaxes the deadline to midnight then it will be held accordingly. Well, this whole thing clearly shows that this gentleman still feels that those in power from the government itself will somehow give relaxation at the last moment and allow the Sunburn festival to play loud music beyond 10 pm till midnight by even instructing the police/those sitting in the control centres to position themselves elsewhere. I think that the government should stand firm by its own decision and not allow the organisers of Sunburn Festival to play music beyond the prescribed time and make the life of all the locals from Anjuna more miserable. Instead, it should make these organisers of Sunburn festival to strictly respect and comply with the High Court directives to send a strong message to all and sundry to play by the rules or to face the music.
