The commissioner stated that a ban on DJs had been imposed. “We urge citizens to not play loud music. This is a matter of public health, not religion, and that the Bhagyanagar Ganesh Utsav Samiti has also agreed to cooperate with the police on this issue,” he said.
He urged organisers to start the procession early, so it can be wrapped up soon. He added that efforts are being made to complete the Khairatabad Ganesh immersion by 1.30 pm.
