A day before Ganesha Fest, preparation is still in limbo

Hubballi: Although only a day left for Ganesha Chaturthi, preparations are still in limbo because the government has imposed many restrictions.
Hubballi, who is famous for Ganesha Utsaav in Karnataka, such as Mumbai in Maharashtra, lost sheen for the second year in a row after Covid’s pandemic.
The order of the government from one idol for one ward has pushed idol makers into confusion when the buyer refused to buy it.
At the other end, the Youth Association, which used to install public ganesha idol, did not understand what to do next.
The office carrier roamed the police station to seek permission and clarification of celebrations.
Shridhar Chitragar, an idolmaker in Dharwad, told Toi that people were still in confusion whether the festival was allowed or not.
“The new guidelines framed by the government have not yet reached all.
As a result, sales of idols have taken place below the average.
In addition, the worshipers preferred to idols lower prices due to the financial crisis after Covid.
Seeing the situation, we have not increased idol prices.
Restrictions The government over idol greater than 4 feet, has drastically affected many craftsmen.
Usually, we accept orders for larger idols in October-December and start working.
If the government tells us before, we will save time, energy, and will Puzzle customers on the same thing.
Now we are worried about what to do with great idols.
The government must compensate for us at least by giving sanctions for the minimum price of idols, “he said.
Vishal Wagmode, Secretary, All India Tent Decorators Association, said that all Shamiyana suppliers were used to get orders three months before the Ganesh festival was 11 days.
“We used to regulate or update the ingredients needed according to Demand for Sarvajanic Ganesha Mandals.
This year there is no order at all because the celebration is limited to 3-5 days, we just got a small size pandal and no organization that ordered for decoration and sound systems after Government norms.
In addition, one idol for one ward has come as another setback for us.
Every ward used to witness 10-12 installations of Ganesh and 4-5 Shamiyana suppliers used to serve them.
Now only one supplier can Serving 4-5 wards and the rest will be given unemployment, “he said.
Low key business.
The city was used to witness more than 700 public ganesh idols but this time someone could only see around 300 Ganesha idols.
Procession is a socio-cultural-economic event to meet the needs of folklore, sound and light workers, flower shops, and more.
Because the government has prohibited procession, they all lose their income, “he said.
