Jaipur Municipal Corporation HQ to play National Anthem everyday
Jaipur Municipal Corporation Headquarters office has announced that it is set to play the National Anthem every day from Tuesday onwards and has directed all of the staff to be present too. The national Anthem will be played at 9:50am and National Song at 5:55 pm. The order came over a week after the Supreme Court directed the centre to take a call on the playing of the National Anthem in public places, including cinema halls. Jaipur Mayor Ashok Lahoty said that there was nothing better than playing the National Anthem and the National Song to start and end the day with positive energy and on a positive note. On October 23, a bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra, Justice AM Khanwilkar and Justice DY Chandrachud said it might modify the wording of its November 2016 order on the issue so that cinema halls "may" -- instead of "shall" -- play the national anthem before the start of movies. The court said that while give its decision on the matter, the government will not be influenced by its 2016 order wherein playing of the National Anthem in cinema halls was made mandatory. -PTC News
