Despite the BMC imposing a complete ban on Holi celebrations in the city and the civic chief warning of action against those found violating orders, many were seen celebrating in society premises. Though no data came in from the BMC, sources said the celebrations were low-key. However, at many places the police had to visit housing societies and order people to stop the celebrations.
