Ganesh idol immersion at Hussain Sagar concluded around 2 pm on Saturday after a rush of hundreds of idols through central Hyderabad. Around 1.2 lakh idols were immersed across the city over two days, while GHMC and HMDA began clearing festival waste.
Telangana DGP C V Anand directed police to make comprehensive security arrangements for Ganesh festivities from September 14 to 25. Officers will digitally capture pandal details, inspect arrangements, map immersion routes and deploy bomb detection teams and dog squads
