Home Ministry denies reports about advisory for Ganesh festival

New Delhi, Aug 25 (UNI) The Union Home Ministry tonight denied reports that it had issued an advisory to all states, especially Maharashtra, warning against possible strikes by Pakistan-based terror groups during the ten-day Ganesh festival from Sunday.
