Ganpati idols conflictual visarjan in Palanpur Patiya Canal
Ganpati festival is being celebrated in Surat with enthusiasm but the plight of Ganapati Bappa idols in Surat's Palanpur Patiya Canal has hurt the sentiments of devotees. After five days of devotional worship, several idols of Ganapati were found floating in the canal near D Mart in Palanpur area due to negligence in the discharge. The Ganesha committee, on learning this, appealed to the people not to immerse the statue in the canal.
