Chennai, Feb 25 (Reporter) The Madras High Court has dismissed a writ petition seeking to disallow the Mahashivarathri celebrations at the Isha Yoga Centre in Coimbatore from Wednesday evening to Thursday morning.

The TNPCB also informed that the officials would monitor the ambient noise level during this year’s celebrations, and check whether it remains within the permissible limit of 75 dB(A).
