Ganesh Idol Falls from Vehicle, Causes Traffic Chaos in Aramghar

Hyderabad,16 August(Ali Abbas-PMI): A Ganesh idol being transported to a pandal fell off a vehicle on the outskirts of Aramghar on Saturday, triggering massive traffic congestion and leaving devotees distressed.

According to eyewitnesses, the vehicle carrying the idol went out of control and tilted, causing the idol to topple onto the middle of the road. The mishap brought traffic to a standstill, with long queues of vehicles piling up along the busy stretch.

Motorists complained of being stuck for an extended period while authorities worked to remove the idol and clear the way. Police teams rushed to the spot, took charge of traffic regulation, and deployed barricades to manage the situation. Commuters were advised to take alternative routes until normalcy was restored.

The incident also left devotees visibly shaken, with many expressing grief over the fall of the idol during the festive season. Several passersby and locals were seen offering prayers before the idol was carefully lifted and placed aside with the help of volunteers and officials.

Authorities have since urged transporters and pandal organizers to adopt extra safety measures while shifting idols, particularly along busy city routes, to prevent similar mishaps during Ganesh Chaturthi festivities.(pressmediaofindia)
