The Hindu
The festivities and fanfare generally witnessed on the last day of the festival for immersion of Ganesh idols was missing this year due to the restrictions on celebrations in public places owing to COVID-19.
Vinayaka Navaratri festival concluded on Saturday in Vizianagaram and Srikakulam district.
However, the festivities and fanfare generally witnessed on the last day of the festival for immersion of Ganesh idols was missing this year due to the restrictions on celebrations in public places owing to COVID-19. Many opted to offer prayers on their own premises.
Vizianagaram Balaji Market president Buddepu Venkata Rao and secretary Nirmal Kumar Pokarna led the procession after the completion of purnahooti in the Ganapati temple located on the market premises.

KFDC Chairman Basavaraju Neelappa Shivannavar formally handed over the land to Environment Minister Eshwar Khandre, who said a huge biological park would be developed on that piece of land in the coming days. Mr. Khandre said that the proposed park would be a much-needed green space for north Bengaluru once developed.
