Minister for School Education Madhu Bangarappa, who is also Minister in-charge of Shivamogga district, conducted a peace meeting with representatives of different organisations.
The Minister said both Ganesh Chaturthi and Id Milad should be celebrated with grandeur, with no opportunities for miscreants to disturb peace. “Festivals are meant to be celebrated. I am hopeful that both communities will have their celebrations peacefully. The role of the administration is to help the public celebrate the occasion,” he said.
The district administration has already introduced a single-window system to issue clearances. The police would be in touch with leaders of organisations and ensure the events are held smoothly, he said.
