The Story in Brief
Hyderabad City Police Commissioner VC Sajjanar inaugurated the Ghatam procession, part of the Bonalu celebrations, at the historic Akkanna Madanna Mahankali Temple in Old City on Monday. He offered prayers and addressed the gathering, expressing happiness at launching the sacred event.
The procession began in Haribowli and was to pass through Gaulipura, Lal Darwaaza, and Shalibanda before concluding at Nayapul. Sajjanar said extensive security measures were in place to ensure a smooth procession and thanked temple trustees, organisers, and devotees for their cooperation.
The Indian Opinion
The police commissioner's presence at the temple is standard protocol, not a political statement. Some strands of online chatter read religious favouritism into any official act involving a place of worship. The test is consistency: will the same standard be applied when officials participate in celebrations of other faiths in Hyderabad?
