After the judging of the Dashamantapas, a couple of committees started chanting slogans at the Kala Sambraham Vedike of Gandhi Maidan (to the seventh page)
Even before the prize distribution, a couple of committees started chanting slogans. In the meantime, the Karavale Bhagavathi Mantapa Committee, who had gone up on the stage, threw the equipment on the stage and openly expressed their dissatisfaction against the Dashamantapa Committee. At this time, the police intervened and took them down from the stage. Later, the Karavale Bhagavathi Committee, who had gathered in front of the stage, shouted slogans of fraud, fraud. Speaking on this occasion, Dasara Committee Working President B.K. Arun Kumar said, "Did you yourself choose the judges? In such a situation, you should accept the verdict of the judges. The mantapa is also being funded from the government grant." He questioned who is responsible for the cut in government funding due to such behavior and said that we should not lose the respect given to us by the government. Later, the prize distribution took place. Tight police security was arranged within the Kala Sambraham Vedike. SP Ramarajan and ASP Dinesh Kumar were also on duty near the stage.
