Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The Ganpati Visarjan continued for the second consecutive day on Wednesday in cities like Bhopal and Indore. Both the district administration teams have made strict arrangements to ensure safety. For instance, residents were not allowed to go near the water bodies; instead, special lorry and belts were arranged for idol immersion.
The idol immersion started on Anant Chaturdahi on Tuesday and is likely to continue till Wednesday evening.
The immersion of Lord Ganesha idols has been proceeding smoothly since last night at Prempura Ghat. The idols are being immersed one after another. Four large cranes have been deployed for immersing the bigger idols, while a separate tank (Kund) has been set up for the smaller ones.
