The Cuddalore district police have issued a set of guidelines to organisers of Vinayaka Chaturthi celebrations in the district.
In a press release, Superintendent of Police R. Rajaram said before installing the idols, permission should be obtained from the Revenue Divisional Officer and Sub-Collector.
If the site where the idols are to be installed is situated on a private property, a no objection certificate (NOC) must be obtained from landowners, and if the site happens to be a poromboke land, NOCs must be obtained from the government department or local body concerned.
