Supreme Court halts Ganesh Chaturthi fest at Idgah Maidan in Bengaluru on Waqf Board plea

Amid a brewing face-off over Ganesh Chaturthi celebration at the Idgah Maidan in Karnataka's Bengaluru, the Supreme Court ordered "status quo", thus halting the festivities.

The state government was reportedly organising the religious event for 2 days. The Waqf Board claimed that the ground is Waqf property, and no such religious festivals have been held at the venue for 200 years.
