The police guidelines state, “Obtain permission from the single-window agency appointed by the BBMP before installing Ganesha idols in public places. Install the idols without causing ny disruptions to the public or vehicular traffic. If shamianas are erected for the Ganeshotsav, ensure that they are sturdy. Bunting, banners, and plaque boards can be used inside the shamianas. However, if these materials are to be installed outside the canopy, obtain separate permissions from the BBMP.
