Thousands of Ganesh idols are immersed across districts in Telangana, with the process continuing into Friday night. The event involves large-scale public participation and coordinated local operations at immersion sites.
The Hindu reports that Telangana’s Director General of Police (DGP) says more than 88,000 Ganesh idols are immersed in the state. It also notes a major security deployment in Hyderabad, with over 25,000 police personnel in the city, additional forces elsewhere, and the use of CCTV surveillance and emergency services to manage the crowds and respond to incidents.
Times of India similarly describes immersions occurring across multiple districts, with “thousands” of idols being taken for immersion. While the outlets align on the overall scale and continuation of the festivities, they differ in the specific state-level totals and the details provided about security arrangements, with The Hindu offering more figures and operational information.
