Ganesh Utsav: Watch the big updates of the hour only on ABP News

Ganesh Utsav celebrations are in full swing across the country, including in Gujarat, and people worship God Ganesha deeply. However, tensions flared in the Saiyedpura area of ​​Surat after a stone-pelting incident occurred at a Ganpati pandal. The situation quickly escalated and led to widespread chaos as angry locals took to the streets and vandalised vehicles in revenge. In response, police resorted to batons and fired tear gas shells to bring the situation under control. Despite their efforts, a large crowd soon gathered at the scene and a protest ensued, with people surrounding the local police station demanding action. The atmosphere remained tense for some time. Amid the chaos, police managed to arrest those responsible for the stone-pelting incident. The arrests helped calm the situation somewhat, but the incident left a significant impact on the area and highlighted the fragile community harmony during such festive occasions. Authorities are now on high alert to ensure that the situation does not escalate further.
