To safeguard the health of its citizens during the forthcoming Navratri festival celebrations, the Gujarat government has issued a circular mandating the provision of medical teams, ambulances, and continuous medical care at the Garba events.

The circular, signed by Dr. Nilam Patel, Additional Director (Public Health), of the Department of Health, emphasized the need for such measures due to the large-scale ‘Ras Garba’ events organised across urban and rural areas during the Navratri Mahotsav, the officials said on Tuesday.
