The TSS Cocktail Festival, initially set for Telankhedi Garden on February 15-16, has been relocated to ‘Half Time, Khasra 54, Drugdhamna, Nagpur.’ The shift comes after authorities intervened, as the required permissions were still under process.
Despite lacking final approval, organizers had already put up hoardings and started ticket sales. Questions were raised about hosting an alcohol-related event at a government-owned park, leading to a review by officials. Telankhedi Garden falls under Punjabrao Deshmukh Agricultural University, making permissions crucial.
The incident highlights concerns over event approvals and regulatory compliance in public spaces. Officials have now tightened monitoring of similar events to prevent unauthorized promotions in the future. Organizers are advised to secure all clearances before announcing events.
