Hyderabad: Ganesh immersion... Thousands of devotees, massive crowd... The key responsibility of maintaining peace and security lies with the police to ensure that no untoward incidents occur.
However, some visuals that emerged from Uppal in Hyderabad have sparked intense debate. While people were enthusiastically participating in the immersion festivities, videos showing some police officers seemingly abandoning their duties to indulge in dance and music have gone viral. Despite the joyful steps, the behavior of the police has become a topic of discussion on social media.
“If the police who are supposed to maintain order behave like this, who will ensure safety?” netizens are raising questions. Given the responsibilities of traffic control, monitoring large crowds, and addressing emergencies during the immersion, criticisms are being directed at these visuals.
However, there needs to be official clarification on whether the context shown in the viral video indicates that the police were indeed on duty or on a break. Opinions are also being expressed that it is not appropriate to reach a final judgment on the police based solely on the video.
Will higher authorities respond to the viral video? Will they provide clarification on the police's conduct? This has now become a matter of interest.
