In a bid to check noise pollution, the Commissionerate Police has banned DJ music during the celebration of Ganesh Puja in Bhubaneswar this year, informed DCP Prateek Singh on Sunday.
The decision was taken during the co-ordination committe meeting between Commissionerate Police and all the puja committees of the Capital City today.
After the meeting, DCP Singh said that the Ganesh Puja will be held on September 7, and the immersion procession of the idols will be conducted on September 8, 11 and 12. He further informed that the ban has been imposed on the use of DJ music during the immersion procession. However, the puja committees can use the traditional bands.
Moreover, action will be taken against the committee worshipping distorted image of Lord Ganesh. The police have also warned of stringent action for forcible collection of donations.
The puja committees have been advised to check the use of liquor and other intoxicants during the puja celebration.
“All the puja committees have been advised to hold the immersion procession in their locality after taking prior permission and not to hold the same on the main roads of the capital city. They also have been asked not to affect the movement of traffics during the procession,” said DCP Prateek Singh.
