Toensure a safe, smooth, and eco-friendly Ganesh idol immersion procession, Malkajgiri Municipal Corporation Commissioner T Vinay Krishna Reddy, alongside Uppal Zonal Commissioner Radhika Gupta, conducted a field inspection on Wednesday, directing officials to establish a baby pond near existing water bodies for idol immersions. Inspecting Rampalli Lake in Nagaram Ward under Ghatkesar Circle, the Commissioner instructed that the artificial pond be designed for future Bathukamma festivities.

He directed officials to create two separate immersion zones for small and large idols to ensure order and safety. Key logistics ordered include deploying cranes, setting up medical aid desks, stationing ambulances, ensuring fire safety, establishing a control room, and removing old and newly immersed idols promptly.

The Commissioner instructed that flowers and organic puja materials be collected separately for composting into natural fertilizer, while general waste undergoes scientific processing. Emphasizing continuous field monitoring, he urged inter-departmental coordination to ensure smooth operations across the municipality throughout the festival.
