It has been officially decided to hold the immersion of Ganesh in the Hyderabad metropolis on the 19th of this month. The day ended with the Ganesh Utsava Samiti also agreeing to the government's proposal. The immersion was originally scheduled to take place on the 20th. After that it was thought what it would be like to perform on the 21st. It was finally decided to take over on that day as it was getting better as per the date next Sunday (19th).

Hyderabad Police Commissioner Anjani Kumar on Monday held a review with senior police officials on the arrangements for Ganesh's immersion. It is advised to be careful so that no untoward incidents take place anywhere. Additional forces have already reached the city, he said.

While the immersion was planned to take place in Hussain Sagar, the High Court ordered that the PVP idols should not be added to the Sagar within hours of the end of the meeting. With this, changes will be made in the provisioning plan in line with the latest government directives, CP said. It is hoped that adding some of the statues to the local pools before the main immersion will ease the pressure of the day.

GHMC, on the other hand, has begun arrangements for the immersion of clay Ganeshas throughout the Greater. The Baldia authorities took action to that effect after the High Court on Tuesday reiterated that there was no change in the orders given not to immerse the PWP Ganapatis in ponds and Hussain Sagar. Cranes will be set up at immersion centers, yard swimmers and immersion waste disposal staff will be assigned. It was clarified that only clay statues would be allowed for immersion.
