Hyderabad Police Hold Meeting With Bhagyanagar Ganesh Utsav Samiti

As part of preparations for the upcoming Ganesh Chaturthi festival, the Hyderabad City Police met with representatives of the Bhagyanagar Ganesh Utsav Samiti.

During the meeting, police said that protecting the lives of the public is the highest priority and discussed several precautionary measures to prevent accidents during the festival.

Idol Height Should Not Exceed 15 Feet

Police recalled that accidents had occurred in the past due to Ganesh idols coming into contact with electricity wires.

Keeping those incidents in mind, officials requested organisers to take preventive measures during the idol manufacturing stage itself.

Police advised the Samiti representatives to coordinate with idol makers and ensure that:

• Electricity wires are approximately 22 feet high.
• The height of the transport trolley is 4 feet.
• The Ganesh idol height should be limited to below 15 feet for procession purposes.

Officials said these precautions would help avoid contact with overhead electricity lines during the procession.

Warning Against Dangerous Attempts to Lift Power Lines

The Hyderabad City Police clearly instructed organisers and devotees not to make dangerous attempts to lift low-hanging electricity wires using sticks, poles or pipes during Ganesh processions.

Police said such practices pose a serious risk to human life and must be avoided.

Hyderabad Police Assure Full Support for Peaceful Festival

The Hyderabad City Police stated that saving human lives is of utmost importance.

The department assured devotees and festival organisers that it would provide all necessary cooperation to ensure that the Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations are conducted peacefully and successfully across the city.

Ahead of Ganesh Chaturthi, the Hyderabad City Police have appealed to the Bhagyanagar Ganesh Utsav Samiti to prioritise public safety by ensuring that Ganesh idols remain below 15 feet in height, considering the 22-foot electricity wires and 4-foot trolley height. Police also warned against lifting low-hanging power lines with sticks or pipes during processions and assured full support to organisers and devotees for the safe and peaceful conduct of the festival.
