Madurai City Police Commissioner Loknathan has announced that no permission will be granted this year to install new Vinayagar idols for Vinayagar Chaturthi. Only the idols installed last year will be permitted.
He also warned that strict action will be taken against anyone forcing children to beg on the streets.
At a public grievance meeting held at the City Police Commissioner’s Office, 299 lost or stolen mobile phones, worth ₹44.85 lakh, were returned to their rightful owners.
The recovery was made possible by the Cyber Crime Police, who traced the phones using their IMEI numbers. Commissioner Loknathan said that FIRs were registered in each case and the devices tracked and recovered. This is the second such large-scale return event conducted by the Madurai Police.
Regarding upcoming festival arrangements, the Commissioner said:
“The number of idols permitted last year will remain the same this year. No permission will be granted for new idols.”
The Madurai City Police, in coordination with NGOs, have rescued 72 elderly persons found abandoned in the city.
The Commissioner strongly warned that anyone making children beg on the streets will face severe legal consequences.
