With Ganesh Chaturthi preparations gathering momentum in Visakhapatnam, a new online platform has been introduced to simplify the process of obtaining permissions for Ganesh pandals.
The initiative allows organisers to apply online instead of approaching multiple government offices separately.
The single-window system brings together approvals required from different concerned departments.
These include departments such as the police, fire services, municipal administration, electricity and revenue authorities.
Organisers can submit their applications and seek the necessary clearances through the online portal.
The initiative is aimed at reducing paperwork and making the approval process more convenient.
It is also expected to improve transparency and coordination between festival organisers and government departments.
Ganesh pandal organisers across Visakhapatnam can benefit from the streamlined digital process during the festival season.
The online system is expected to help authorities process applications more efficiently.
Festival organisers have been encouraged to obtain the required permissions before setting up pandals.
The initiative comes as preparations for Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations gather pace across the city.
The digital platform is expected to make the permission process smoother for organisers and government authorities alike.
