This is how people started dancing to film songs on the stage of Ganesh Puja in Maholi village of Maharajpur area of Kanpur. Police should take action against those organizing such events. A user named Deepak wrote, ‘This trend is going on these days, puja is just an excuse, the main purpose is to entertain.’
