DJ Black Coffee event in Goa cancelled after NOC revoked on Good Friday
Anjuna: (Apr 4) The Goa leg of Grammy-winning South African DJ Black Coffee’s India tour was cancelled at the last minute on Friday evening after authorities revoked the event’s No Objection Certificate (NOC), a move intended to honour the solemnity of Good Friday.
Officials on Saturday cited the need to respect local sentiments and the religious significance of the day as the primary reason for withdrawing the permission previously granted to host the “Sunset-to-Night” event.
The revocation of permission by the Communidade of Anjuna, in whose land the event was scheduled to be hosted, followed an objection by locals and the opposition Congress, citing the solemn occasion of Good Friday and the upcoming Easter Sunday.
