Gonikoppal, Sep. 21: Kodagu District Additional Superintendent of Police Dinesh Kumar advised the Dasamantalapa presidents to control noise pollution during the procession held on Vijayadashami and celebrate the Dasamantalapa program meaningfully.
Speaking at a meeting organized by the Police Department for the Dasamantalapa presidents at the Agricultural Science Hall in Gonikoppal, he said that it is mandatory to follow several rules of the department while participating in the final procession of the Dasamantalapa of Gonikoppa Dasara Janotsava. The pavilions should be brought out at the specified time, the story summary should be shown to the people wherever necessary, and most importantly, loudspeakers should be used in the pavilions at the specified volume. Permission from the department should be obtained for using loudspeakers.
The people of Kodagu are disciplined soldiers and have always respected the law. Since the law is framed under the Constitution, it is our priority to follow it. The Dashamantapas should complete their program within the time limit. It is the responsibility of all of us to preserve and develop our own culture without emphasizing Western culture.
The presidents and the management board of the Dashamantapas should work as guides for the young people. Without the cooperation of the public, it will not be possible to implement the law.
There is no pressure on the police. It is our responsibility to follow the orders of the High Court on noise pollution. Since the crowd flows into the city from noon on Navratri, the Dashamantapas should fulfill their responsibility without fail. Dinesh Kumar gave many suggestions that the volunteers in each mantap should be ensured to perform their duties in a good manner.
Virajpet D.Y.S.P. Mahesh Kumar spoke and said that many suggestions were given by holding a meeting of the Dashamantapa presidents with the police department. We will organize another meeting if necessary. He appealed to everyone to cooperate with the department and follow the law.
Gonikoppa Circle Inspector Shivaraj Mudhol said that on the last day of Navratri, police officers and staff will be appointed for each mantap. The mantaps should arrive at the specified time and pass through the bus stand by 5 am. The Dashamantapa should make the road accessible for vehicular traffic.
The noise pollution officers will arrive at their mantap and take action if necessary based on the report they give. No untoward incident should be allowed. The police department will fully cooperate, he said.
Shaji Achutthan, president of the Dashamantapa, said that with the cooperation of the public, the Dashamantapa will bring out the mantaps in a good manner and show the procession to the public. DJs will not be installed in the pavilions at a cost of 5 lakhs. We will install a sound system within 1 lakh. He requested that the department should give permission for this.
On Navratri day, the silent film procession of the RMC auditorium will begin at 2 pm. The program will be concluded by 6 pm and the prizes will be distributed, said Prabhakar Nellithaya, president of the Nadahabba Dasara Committee.
Speaking about the program, K. Rajesh, president of the Yuva Dasara Committee, and Kadyamada Chethan, working president of the Friends' Association Committee, said that sometimes during the procession, the pavilions are delayed due to technical problems. This time, they will arrive at the bus stand on time and show the story to the public. He said that the police should cooperate with the Dasamamantaps.
Speaking at the meeting, Sri Kaveri Dasara Samiti President Kullachanda Pramod Ganapathi said that thousands of citizens will come to the 11-day Dasara Janotsava program. On the final day, the Dashamantapas will take out a grand procession. The Kaveri Dasara Samiti pavilion will leave from the Umamaheshwari temple at 9 am. He appealed to other pavilions to arrive in a queue as per the rules and join hands for the success of Dasara.
