The Stegodon ganesa. This prehistoric tusker, bigger than modern elephants, roamed South Asia 25,000 years ago and is remembered today through fossils, historic stamps, and cultural significance.

On the one hand, preparations are underway for the Ganeshotsav in Gujarat, and on the other hand, miscreants are throwing eggs at the statue of Ganesha to hurt the religious sentiments of Hindus in Vadodara.

Bombay High Court observed that if the use of loudspeakers and sound systems beyond permissible sound limits was harmful during the Ganesh festival then it was also harmful during the Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi processions. 

The Police arrived at the spot and immediately took control of the situation. 11 people have been arrested in the case and several others have been booked. Notably, all the accused persons are believed to be belonging to the Muslim community. 

During Ganesh Chaturthi, Hindu processions in Mundra, Ratlam, Surat, and Chittagong faced violent attacks, including stone-pelting and assaults, sparking protests and arrests.

The head of the Ganesh Pandal was attacked by one Yasir, resulting in injuries on head, legs, and feet. Yasir also threatened him with death for organising Ganesh festival.
