Ganesh idol installation: Single-window clearance system introduced in Karnataka's Chamarajanagar district
A single-window clearance system has been introduced in Karnataka's Chamarajanagar for obtaining permission for the public installation of Ganesh idols in the district on the occasion of the Gowri-Ganesh festival this month.
Deputy Commissioner Shilpa Nag said committees had been formed at taluk-levels for granting permission for the installation of idols and related events. The committees will have officials from various departments, which are authorised to grant permission for installation sites, pandals, electricity connections, and other arrangements, she said.
While the tahsildar will be heading such committees, the Municipal Council Commissioner or the Chief Officer of the City Municipal Council or town panchayats will be the member secretaries. The taluk panchayat Executive Officer, circle Police Inspector, Assistant Executive Engineer of the Public Works Department, CESC assistant Executive Engineer, and the taluk Fire Officer will be the members in each committee.
The district administration has informed the organisers planning to install Ganesh idols or conduct related programmes to collect the prescribed application forms from the concerned taluk offices or police stations and obtain approval from the respective committees.
