This time government is giving direction to the Carnival parade floats. Only traditional, no commercial floats and especially no floats with politically controversial messages like CAA, Tourism Minister Babu Azgaonkar made it clear on Tuesday. Babu warned about that police action would be initiated against those floats that don't follow the rules.
