A tragic incident involving a large idol has occurred, resulting in the loss of two lives and injuring five others. The idol, made of Plaster of Paris, weighed nearly two tonnes and was part of an arrival procession. Following this incident, a decision has been made to scale back celebrations.

An investigation is underway, with a metal structure being examined at a forensic laboratory to determine the cause of the collapse. Further details about the incident and its aftermath are available from the source. The incident has led to a more subdued celebration this year.
