Meanwhile, the Bhagyanagar Ganesh Utsav Samithi on Saturday has asked the State government to intervene and make arrangements for Ganesh idol immersion. The demand came following the High Court’s directions on Thursday asking authorities not to allow immersion of Ganesh idols made of Plaster of Paris in Hussain Sagar.

“The State government should file a review petition or approach the Supreme Court on the issue of idol immersion and make necessary arrangements,” Samithi general secretary Bhagwant Rao told the media. “We are waiting for the authorities to act. There is very little time left to make immersion arrangements,” he said.
