The Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena faction on Wednesday demanded a single-window clearance system for permission to celebrate festivals and birth anniversaries of big leaders during the election model code of conduct period. The code of conduct is implemented once the election dates are announced by the election commission. 

Talking to reporters, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Anil Parab said the government machinery will be busy with the election work once the poll dates are announced. "There should be a single-window system to grant permission to celebrate festivals and birth anniversaries of big leaders. People will get relief and will not have to make frequent rounds of government offices when the model code of conduct is in force."
