Bowing to pressure, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has decided to consider requests to allow Ganesha festival celebrations beyond three days. If any of the organisers want permission to install Ganesha and Gowri idols for more than three days, they can request the same from the sanctioning authority i.e. local police and jurisdictional assistant executive engineer of the BBMP. While the State government recently issued festival guidelines stating that the idols could be installed for not more than five days, the BBMP issued separate guidelines pertaining to the city restricting duration of celebration to three days. This angered many organisers, who argued for permission to install the idols in public places for more days.More Related News
