He appealed to the devotees to celebrate the nine-day Ganesh festival with only clay idols from next year. He said that everyone should take note of dangers posed by Plaster of Paris idols. He appreciated Stambhadri Utsava Samithi for grandly organising the festivities. He also lauded the district administration, police and Municipal Corporation for making elaborate arrangements for the smooth immersion of the idols.
