Sources tell us that the event did not get police's go ahead. Hyderabad Police has deployed personnel in the city ahead of Ganpati Visarjan and could not dedicate enough personnel for mega event. Sources say a political rally planned in the city tomorrow may also be a reason for the police personnel being stretched.
