Members of the Bhagyanagar Ganesh Utsav Committee protested outside the Charminar DCP office against cases over alleged DJ rule violations during the Ganesh festival. Around 200 members alleged police high-handedness and demanded uniform enforcement of rules at religious festivals.
Hyderabad Police Commissioner VC Sajjanar has directed Ganesh Utsav organisers to restrict idol heights to 15 feet to avoid accidents during transportation and immersion. He urged early coordination with idol makers and warned against unsafe practices such as lifting overhead power lines during processions.
