NEW DELHI: It will take some serious shelling to slay the Dussehra demons today . While Tuesday's storm and rain weakened the newly hoisted rakshasa warriors - discolouring , disfiguring and even maiming them - they also made them proof against the fiery attacks of Rama and Lakshmana . Worried Ramlila organizers had to call in firepower reserves - dry grass and more crackers - to ensure that the Dussehra finale does not turn into a washout .

"We have increased the number of firecracker bombs used to burn the effigies from 6,000 to 10,000. Also, lots of dry grass is being stuffed into the giant structures so that they burn easily . There will be no problem at all ," said Arjun Kumar , president of the Luv-Kush Ramlila Committee near Red Fort .

The storm brought down giant effigies of Ravana at many places on Tuesday . In some cases , embellishments , including crown , armour and dress , of the 80-90 feet tall 10-headed demon were lost.

Kumar said Ravana's nose blew off during the dust storm , and his clothes made of cardboard , colorful paper and sacks got disfigured at some points . "There are still 24 hours left for the final celebrations and we are confident that things will be in order by then ," he said .

Ravi Jain , press secretary of Dharmik Lila Committee in Subhash Park , where the finale will be attended by the President and PM, among others , said one of the effigies had tilted in the dust storm . "It's a minor problem . We will sort it out."

In Subhash Nagar , west Delhi, also an effigy listed and cranes had to be called in to provide support . Rajiv Behel, head of the puja committee in Subhash Nagar , said the storm tore off the arms of the effigy .

"The bamboo scaffolding of the 90-foot structure also tilted completely and we had to provide it support . Despite that , it fell down and now we are waging a war to get it up for Wednesday's celebration ," he said .

Similar problems were reported from scores of other committees planning grand Dussehra celebrations .
