Bengaluru: The State Government is likely to allow the public celebration of the Ganesha festival, which falls on September 10, with restrictions.
Revenue Minister R Ashoka speaking in this regard said that some 30 big organizers hold events where over 50,000 people gather and 200 smaller groups who organise public celebrations with 2,000 people attending them. The police have a list of these organizers, who take prior permission before holding the events.
“We will get details from these organizers. The chief minister will hold the meeting on September 5 with experts to discuss the type of restrictions needed while allowing public celebrations,” he said.
“Covid cases spiked in Kerala after Onam celebrations. Therefore we need to discuss it further. However, chief minister is keen on allowing the festival with safety measures.” he added
Last year, the government had imposed strict curbs on Ganesha celebrations.
