Hyderabad: GHMC commissioner RV Karnan ensured Hyderabad is ready for a safe and eco-friendly immersion of Ganesh idols across 20 major lakes marked as immersion points.
Ahead of the major procession, Karnan inspected barricading, lighting, crane installation, and control room arrangements. “We have allocated the required funds and infrastructure for a smooth idol immersion. As many as 134 fixed cranes have been deployed along with 259 mobile cranes across the major lakes,” he said.
He said that over 90 percent of potholes have been filled across the Greater Hyderabad city limits.
About 160 security teams have been set up along the main procession route.
Swimmers, boats and DRF teams are on standby, supported by 13 control rooms in coordination with the police and the state tourism department.
To prevent any mishaps and accidents, seven medical camps, including ambulances, have been kept ready, working in three shifts.
Urging the citizens to be conscious of cleanliness and timeliness, the GHMC commissioner appealed to locals and devotees to dispose of garbage only at designated points along the routes where the Ganesh idol procession will take place, as several sanitation workers are on shift duty.
