All arrangements are being made at two locations in Kurnool city for the immersion of Ganesh idols.

According to Industries and Commerce Minister and Kurnool MLA T.G. Bharath Gupta, necessary arrangements are being made to conduct the Ganesh idols immersion at the Vinayaka Ghat on the K-C Canal and the Handri-Neeva site near the Nannur toll gate.

With the non-availability of water in Sunkesula barrage upstream, the administration has asked the pandal organisers not to install big Plaster of Paris idols earlier. However, with the request of the Ganesh Mahotsav Central Committee, measures have been taken to conduct the immersion at the Vinayaka Ghat on the K-C Canal.

Inspecting the immersion arrangements at the Handri-Neeva site near Nannur Toll Gate and the Vinayaka Ghat, Mr. Bharath said the Handri-Neeva site near Nannur toll gate is suitable for immersion of big sized Ganesh idols.

“Walls have been constructed on both sides of the K-C Canal at Vinayaka Ghat to create a tank-like structure for water storage. Approximately 20 lakh liters of wash water discharged daily from the pump house are being stored at Vinayaka Ghat to facilitate the traditional immersion of idols by devotees,” he said.

The Minister said that devotees could perform the Ganesh immersion at locations convenient to them. Officials from the Irrigation Department and the Kurnool Municipal Corporation are coordinating to make comprehensive arrangements for the smooth conduct of the immersion, he added. Further, representatives from the Gayatri Goseva Samiti have come forward to assist the devotees.

Meanwhile, officials said that more than 350 idols have already been immersed in the Handri-Neeva canal by Friday night.

Kurnool Municipal Corporation (KMC) Commissioner Challa Obulesu has said that assessing feasibility, measures were taken to divert wash water generated during the purification process at the Ashok Nagar Pump House to the K-C Canal Vinayaka Ghat. “Barriers were constructed to store this water over a stretch of 600 meters for immersion of idols,” he said.
