Members of various Hindutva outfits led by BJP leaders and municipal councillors took out a colourful procession on Friday before bidding farewell to Lord Ganesha installed at Idgah Maidan in Hubballi.
After the High Court upheld the municipal corporation’s decision to permit putting up a Ganesh Pandal at the Idgah Maidan, the Municipal Commissioner allowed Rani Chennamma Maidan Gajanan Utsav Maha Mandal to install the idol of Lord Ganesha in accordance with the conditions imposed.
As per permission, the Gajanan Maha Mandal installed the idol from Wednesday to Friday noon. So, before the deadline ended, the members of the mandal accompanied by several leaders and office-bearers of the RSS performed puja and began the immersion procession.
