Organisers of public Ganesh Chaturthi pandals should pay the required fees and seek approval from Bangalore Electricity Supply Company (Bescom) prior to taking temporary electricity connections for the celebrations, according to guidelines issued by the company on Monday.
The guidelines were discussed by senior Bescom officials at a peace meeting organised by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) and Bengaluru City Police last week to ensure safety.
The organisers should first obtain a no-objection certificate from the BBMP and submit it to the concerned Bescom sub-division.
