Andhra Pradesh Launches Single-Window Ganesh Pandal Permission Portal
Andhra Pradesh has created one website for people who want to set up Ganesh pandals.
Organisers no longer need to visit several government offices separately.
They can apply online and provide details about the pandal and its location.
Police, fire, municipal, electricity and revenue officials will review the application.
A local police officer and other officials will inspect the proposed site.
They will check safety, public order and other requirements.
If everything is approved, the organiser will receive a digital certificate with a QR code.
Applying and getting the permission is free, and the service is available throughout the state.
Andhra Pradesh police launched a statewide online portal for Ganesh pandal permissions.
The portal combines police, fire, municipal, electricity and revenue clearances.
Local SHOs and a multi-department team will inspect proposed pandal sites.
Approved organisers will receive a free digital NOC with a QR code.
The system is available across all districts through www.ganeshutsav.net.
