The Bhagyanagar Ganesh Utsav Committee general secretary Bhagwanth Rao said that the GHMC officials had not cooperated with the organisers due to which several civic works were pending on the procession route.

Mr. Rao advised the organisers not to stop the vehicles on highways for hiring them to carry the idols, but instead approach the designated centers set up by the Road Transport Authority (RTA) to hire a vehicle.

BJP leaders Bandaru Dattatreya and Baddam Bal Reddy also spoke.
