Over 50,000 police personnel will be deployed to ensure the smooth immersion of nearly two lakh Ganesh idols on Saturday, marking the culmination of the 11-day Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations, Telangana DGP Jitender said.
Nearly 15,000 sanitation workers would work in three shifts (24×7) in Hyderabad to maintain cleanliness during the event, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) said.
Elaborate security arrangements have been made in and around Hyderabad, with multiple departments coordinating to manage the immersion, officials added.
“As many as 50,000 police will be deployed. Around two lakh Ganesh idols will be immersed,” the DGP said yesterday.
Hyderabad Police Commissioner CV Anand said all arrangements for the final immersion, scheduled for today, are complete.
