The civic body said the immersions were carried out in a devotional atmosphere while measures were taken to facilitate an environment-friendly celebration under the ‘Utsav Ganrayacha, Jagar Paryavaranacha’ campaign launched as part of the Majhi Vasundhara 7.0 initiative.

Of the 106 immersion points arranged by the civic body’s construction department, 29 were natural immersion sites and 77 were artificial ponds. The sites were equipped with security personnel, electricity, CCTV cameras, stages and towers, tables and chairs, public address systems, nirmalya collection urns and life jackets.

Multiple Departments Coordinate Immersion Arrangements

The civic body coordinated preparations through its construction, health, electrical, licensing, stores, transport, medical and environment departments. NGOs and social organisations also assisted the municipal administration.

Municipal officials and elected representatives visited immersion sites to monitor arrangements and ensure smooth operations. Municipal Commissioner Mangesh Chitale inspected several locations, while additional commissioners, deputy commissioners, ward officers, engineers and other officials were deployed across the immersion sites.

Emergency Teams Deployed For Crowd Management
