Bantwal, Sep 24: A controversy was ignited on Wednesday September 23 after the images of Lord Ganesha were found on a new consignment of children’s footwear that arrived from Bangalore to a retail footwear shop located at B C Road, here.
The offending footwear has come from a wholesaler in Jalahalli, Bangalore. The footwear has been manufactured by M D and Sons, New Delhi, and marketed by their sister concern M D Enterprises, Bangalore, and their contact numbers are printed on the cartons.
Local Hindu organizations have expressed anguish over the issue and urged the district administration to take swift action in this regard. Town sub-inspector Vivekanand has already taken possession of the entire consignment of footwear.
