The Bhagyanagar Ganesh Utsav Samithi has expressed dissatisfaction over arrangements for the September 25 Ganesh immersion procession in Hyderabad. It alleged a lack of clarity from GHMC and police and opposed restrictions on immersion at Kapra Lake without alternative arrangements.
Hyderabad Police has restricted Ganesh idols to a maximum height of 16 feet during this year's festivities. The decision aims to improve public safety during transportation and immersion, with authorities also promoting eco-friendly clay idols and stricter compliance with safety norms.

This is the first time that the Union Home Minister Amit Shah will be participating in the annual event. He will see the photo exhibition to be organised by Bhagyanagar Ganesh Utsav Samithi on its journey of 46 years.
