Police restore calm in Madannapet after festival procession disruption
Hyderabad police acted rapidly late on Saturday night to maintain public order in Madannapet after unidentified individuals allegedly threw eggs at a Durga Mata idol during an immersion procession.
Officers responded immediately after receiving an emergency alert through the Dial 100 system, securing the area near the Santosh Nagar hotel line.

The procession had been organised by the Veer Savarkar Nava Yuva Sangham as part of annual festival observances. When the disruption occurred, members of local Hindu organisations gathered to voice their protest and demand strict legal action against those responsible.
Police personnel arrived at the scene within minutes, engaging with community members to assure them of prompt action. Officers secured the perimeter, took the suspects into custody, and ensured that public peace was fully maintained throughout the location.
A police official confirmed that law enforcement conducted an immediate enquiry upon reaching the spot and registered a case against the accused.
