CM Revanth Asks Officials to Ensure Smooth Ganesh Chaturthi Festivities

Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Saturday directed officials to make fool-proof arrangements for the nine-day Ganesh Chaturthi festivities beginning September 14, while ensuring law and order. 

Reddy, who held a meeting with ministers, officials and Bhagyanagar Ganesh Utsav Samiti office bearers to review the arrangements for the festivities, directed police and municipal administration officials to continuously monitor the situation until their completion.

He suggested setting up a control room in the government's



command control centre here and appointing special officers for coordination and supervision, an official release said. 

The CM said security arrangements and traffic management would be easier if the pandal organisers provide advance information on where the pandals are being set up. He also appealed to the organisers to inform the authorities in advance if they plan to invite any guests. 

Noting that the state government is providing free electricity to the pandals, he said the organisers should make use of the facility.
