Police Commissioner convenes peace committee meeting ahead of Milad-un-Nabi and Ganesh festivities

Reaffirming the commitment to peace during celebrations of festivals and occasions, the central peace committee members and representatives from the community acknowledged the fact that the law and order and peace propelled the State and city to new heights across all spheres, the police said in a release on Sunday.

Hyderabad City Police Commissioner C.V. Anand, who convened the peace committee, which witnessed participation of members and representatives from across the city, urged for continued cooperation among all community members and stressed that while only 0.1 percent might attempt to disrupt the peace, the combined efforts of the majority could effectively counter any such nuisances.

The meeting’s objective was to deliberate and “preempt any potential friction” as this year, both Milad-un-Nabi, celebration to commemorate the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammed, and Ganesh Chaturthi festivities and the idol immersions, fall on the same date, September 28 (Thursday).
