Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) Commissioner R.V. Karnan has assured that roads damaged by continual rains will be repaired in time for the Ganesh Chaturthi festivities. Addressing a convergence meeting he chaired on Monday to review the festival arrangements, Mr. Karnan said the repair works are already underway on roads damaged by heavy rains, and any pending works on National Highways used for idol processions will also be completed in time. He called upon the Bhagyanagar Ganesh Utsav Samithi and officials of all concerned government departments to extend their full cooperation to ensure the upcoming Ganesh festival is conducted smoothly and in a peaceful atmosphere across the city. The Ganesh festivities are scheduled to begin on August 27 this year, to conclude with idol immersions on September 6. Mr. Karnan stated that, as in previous years, GHMC, the police, and other government agencies will work in close coordination and assured that more cranes will be deployed at immersion sites to ensure quick and safe idol immersion. Zonal-level coordination meetings will also be conducted to ensure seamless execution of plans. Additional Commissioner of Police (Law & Order) Vikram Singh Mann shared several safety guidelines, stressing the need for quality materials and wiring for pandals due to possible heavy rains, height restrictions for idols to avoid traffic disruptions, installation of at least one CCTV camera per pandal, and dedicated volunteer teams at large pandals. He also recommended separate entry and exit routes for visitors at major pandals and timely commencement of key processions, including that of Khairatabad and Balapur, to facilitate smooth immersions. Members of the Bhagyanagar Ganesh Utsav Samithi also presented suggestions to officials for the smooth conduct of the festival.
