The public celebration of Ganesh festival at the Idgah Maidan adjacent to Kittur Chennamma Circle in Hubballi concluded on a colourful and peaceful note with a heavy posse of police personnel keeping vigil all along the procession route.
As the municipal corporation had permitted the celebration of Ganesh festival only for three days and also fixed the time for the immersion procession, the office-bearers of Rani Chennamma Maidan Gajanan Utsav Mahamandali made arrangements accordingly.
Along with mahamandali office-bearers led by its president Sanjeev Badaskar, members of various Hindutva outfits started assembling at the venue from early morning and they were joined by the former Union Minister and BJP leader Basanagouda Patil Yatnal, BJP MLAs Arvind Bellad, Mahesh Tenginakai, Amrut Desai and M.R. Patil and BJP MLC Pradeep Shettar along with other office-bearers of the party.
