Summary:
“All immersion points have been barricaded and cranes have been kept ready to ensure that the immersion of Ganesha idols is performed sans hassles,” said Mr.
Fakkeerappa. In a bid to keep beaches and tourist attraction points free of debris, the City Police and the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) have identified 11 immersion points and urged the pandal organisers to use the venues only. More night patrolling teams have been deployed at the immersion points. The pandal organisers have been told to begin the procession after 10 p.m.
to avoid traffic congestions during the peak evening hours. The officials have also cautioned the pandal organisers not to use high-decibel sound system and high-power fire crackers during the procession..
