Activists Celebrate SC Verdict On Idol Immersion
Activists of the Bhagyanagar Ganesh Utsav Samithi celebrated the verdict of the Supreme Court allowing the immersion of Ganesh idols in the Hussain Sagar.
Activists of the Bhagyanagar Ganesh Utsav Samithi (BGUS) today celebrated the verdict of the Supreme Court of India allowing the immersion of Ganesh idols in the Hussain Sagar.
The activists burst fire-crackers and distributed sweets on the occasion to celebrate their joy.
They also thanked the SC for permitting them to immerse the idols in the lake "keeping in mind the sentiments of the devotees of the city".
Earlier, activists of the Samithi had organized a protest at the MJ Market crossroads demanding that the state government authorize the immersion of the idols in the Hussain Sagar by bringing in an ordinance.
Activists of the VHP and the Bajrang Dal also took part in the protest.
The protestors stopped the movement of vehicles at the cross roads. As a result, there was a traffic jam for about 2 km.
The police then arrested the activists and cleared the traffic jam.
