The five-day Ananda Festival had wrapped up two days before schedule, on June 9, after the Himachal Pradesh High Court ordered a probe and a police party that raided the site seized drugs.
SDM Nishant Sharma, who issued the sound permission and is currently on medical leave, will also be transferred, the Court was told.
The High Court subsequently clubbed the NGO’s complaint with other PILs of a similar nature pending before it.
Environmentalist Guman Singh, who has also been campaigning against these rave parties, says: “Why hold such events in secluded areas?
They obtained the sound permission but they were not the organizers.”
