The Hubballi-Dharwad Municipal Corporation (HDMC), in a late night development on Friday, permitted the erecting of Ganesh pandal for three days at Idgah Maidan adjacent to Kittur Chennamma Circle; however, the organisation that has been given permission is not happy with the number of conditions imposed by the corporation.
Addressing presspersons along other office-bearers of the reception committee of the Ganesha festival at Idgah Maidan, president of Rani Chennamma Maidan Gajanan Utsav Mahamandali, Sanjeev Badaskar, said the corporation had imposed many conditions for the public celebration of the festival.
“Unlike last year, this time 18 conditions have been imposed. Along with restriction on the size of the pandal and the idol, the time has been fixed for installing the idol. There is also a condition that the immersion procession should be completed within an hour, which is unwarranted. We have taken exception to such conditions and conveyed our views to the Municipal Commissioner,” he said.
