HYDERABAD, INDIA, September 4, 2015 (The Hindu): The annual Vinayaka Chaturthi festivities will commence on the 17the with installation of around 100,000 statues in the city and culminate with immersion of statues on September 27. The centralized statue immersion procession will head for Hussain Sagar lake.
Speaking to press persons here on Wednesday, Bhagyanagar Ganesh Utsav Samithi General Secretary Bhagwanth Rao said that as a precursor to the festivities, a ‘Hindu Chaitanya Sabha’ to be addressed by Gorakhpur MP Yogi Adityanath, Sadhvi Hemalatha Shastry from Mathura and Tridandi Chinna Jeeyar Swamy would be held at NTR Stadium on September 13.
The utsav samithi had already advised the organizers against using DJs for playing film and Western music during the festivities but the police was using this pretext to stop using public address system itself, he said. “We have sought time to meet Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao to explain the arrangements and also the confusions being created by the police,” Mr.Bhagwanth Rao said.
