The ‘Bada Ganesh’ immersion procession Hyderabad marks the conclusion of the vibrant eleven-day Ganesh Chaturthi festival celebrations across the state capital. Thousands of pilgrims, city residents, and devotional groups lined the streets to witness the monumental procession moving from Khairatabad toward the historic Hussain Sagar lake.
The iconic Khairatabad idol stands as the tallest Ganesh idol in the region, making its shobha yatra procession the main attraction of the entire citywide immersion event. Organizers initiate the movement early in the day to prevent severe route congestion later in the evening.
Which Central Security Forces Assisted Police In Hyderabad?
Hyderabad City Police deployed over 30,000 security personnel alongside specialized visual surveillance networks, static CCTV cameras, and overhead drones. Strategic barricading was established along the central procession route passing through Telephone Bhavan, Secretariat, and NTR Marg to manage dense crowds safely.
The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation positioned heavy-duty mechanical cranes at Crane Number 4 along Upper Tank Bund. Engineering crews utilize reinforced platform trailers to transport the massive idol, ensuring smooth hoisting into the lake waters without technical disruption.
Traffic authorities implemented multi-tier diversions across central corridors including Khairatabad flyover, Lakdikapul, Basheerbagh, and Ranigunj. Commuters are advised to utilize public transport, metro rail services, and designated bypass roads as immersion activities continue uninterrupted until completion.
