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.
