The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has issued a circular on Tuesday restricting the public celebration of Ganesh Chaturthi to three days.

Prohibitions were also imposed on the procession during these days including on the 'visarjana' (the immersion of the idol in a water body). On Sunday, the government had issued guidelines allowing public celebrations for five days but has now cut it down to three days, like last year.
