An Indian restaurant in Nanjing was fined for holding Holi activities on a public sidewalk facing the street.
On June 12, 2026, an Indian restaurant in Nanjing, without reporting to the police, urban management, or street authorities, organized a Holi festival activity involving approximately 20 foreign nationals on a public sidewalk.
Participants publicly threw large amounts of colored chemical powder, causing multiple violations: The entire sidewalk, greenery, and public facilities were extensively stained, with the pigment seeping into the paving stones and proving extremely difficult to clean; Several pedestrians' clothes were stained with the pigment and were difficult to wash; The open-air gathering occupied public road space, obstructing traffic and disturbing residents.
Enforcement officers immediately stopped the activity and issued a full set of penalties the following day: The restaurant was ordered to suspend operations for 3 days, fined 5,000 yuan, required to pay 8,000 yuan for high-pressure cleaning of the road, and compensate the three affected residents for clothing cleaning costs; The foreign nationals involved were all given warnings and fined 200-500 yuan each, depending on the severity of the offense.
