Tall Idols Trigger Safety Concerns Ahead of Festival

Haydarabad: Despite the tragedies about the repetitive power during and before the festivals, the tradition of establishing large idols continues constantly in Haydarabad. For organizers and dedicated, these long idols symbolize splendor and commitment, but the authorities are called to establish a balance between faith and security.

“The greater IDOL has become a matter of pride and commitment to bring long idols. The more the participation of the dedicated, the greater the participation of the dedicated, the more accidents like these.

Shiva Teja, an organizer from Shalivahanagar, underlined the cultural dimension. “Haydarabad is known for its tall Ganesh idols. These installations are not only easy to bring together religious symbols, but it is not easy to give up the communities. It is not easy to give up this tradition. It is the appropriate guidance from the authorities that we expect from the electrical departments, the safe transportation routes, barricades and support, so that these tragedies can be prevented.

Prabhakar Rao, a member of Ganesh Utsav Samiti, reiterating emotion, said the sanction was weak. “Every year we demand the implementation of security guidelines, but very little changes. Tall idols are an integral part of Haydarabad’s festive identity and prohibiting them is not a solution.

Reminding the latest setbacks, Satish from Gowligiguda stressed the need for solid electricity security. “High voltage wires should be inspected, prevented with preventive coatings and unsafe lines before giving permissions. Smaller pandals should still be banned to push sagging cables with bamboo poles.

Thousands of pandals are established in front of the city, while the twin difficulties of tradition and security seem great. Organizers and dedicated, hoping that this year’s celebrations will not be overshadowed by preventive tragedies.
