Gauri-Ganesha Immersion Festival Held in Virajpet

Virajpet, Sept. 28: Representatives from various Gauri-Ganesha festival committees in Virajpet held an emergency press conference on Monday to condemn the unilateral attitude, false propaganda, forced stoppage of loudspeakers, high-handedness, and systemic failures exhibited by the Police and CESC departments during the historic Gauri-Ganesha immersion festival.

Leaders and key members of the various committees spoke at the press conference, expressing their outrage against the administrative machinery.

T.P., President of the Vinayaka Yuvaka Mandali and an advocate, was present at the press conference. Speaking on the occasion, Krishna stated, "The conduct of the police during this year's historic Gauri-Ganesha immersion procession was highly condemnable. Committee members organize this festival by pooling contributions from the public and generous donors—without receiving even a pittance in government grants—and by spending lakhs of rupees, often sacrificing their own monthly wages. We strive hard to uphold the tradition of immersing all the idols simultaneously. However, the police spread false propaganda claiming that a fatality had occurred due to electrocution while using loudspeakers, thereby effectively ruining this year's event."

He further added, "For two consecutive years, the CHESCOM department has disappointed lakhs of people by failing to supply electricity during the Gauri-Ganesha immersion. The town would have been plunged into darkness had it not been for generator-backed power supply. Who would have been held responsible if an untoward incident had occurred amidst the darkness while thousands of people were viewing the Ganesha idols?"
