Khairatabad Ganesh to be immersed in Hussain Sagar at crane point no. 4; static and mobile cranes across Hyderabad

The Ganesh idols in and around Hyderabad would be immersed at 20 major lakes and 72 specially created artificial ponds to ease traffic and reduce pressure on natural water bodies. A total of 134 static cranes and 259 mobile cranes were put in position across key immersion points, as per a communication from Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC). The 69-foot tall Khairatabad Ganesh idol would be immersed in Hussain Sagar at crane point number 4.

The corporation said that necessary arrangements were made “to ensure the safe, smooth, and eco-friendly conduct of Ganesh idol immersions scheduled for September 6. The civic body, in coordination with Police, Revenue, Electricity, HMDA, Water Board, Traffic Police, R&B, HYDRAA, Medical & Health, Tourism, and Information departments, will remain on high alert round-the-clock until the completion of the immersion process”.

The Corporation’s Commissioner R.V. Karnan urged devotees and organizers to transport idols to immersion points on time, avoid throwing garbage on roads, and use designated garbage points along the procession routes. He also appealed to citizens not to use color paper bits during the immersion procession, as it is difficult to remove them, besides causing inconvenience to commuters.
