Kurnool all set for Ganesh idol immersion amid water shortages, says Bharath
Inspecting the arrangements, the Industries Minister directs officials to make necessary arrangements for availability of water, security, and infrastructure
Kurnool is preparing for the grand Ganesh idol immersion ceremony amidst a severe water scarcity, according to State Industries and Commerce Minister T.G. Bharath Gupta. The minister recently inspected the preparations at Vinayaka Ghat along the K-C Canal and the Handri-Neeva tanks near Nannur toll plaza. Concerned about the low water storage levels at the Sunkesula Barrage, Bharath directed officials to devise alternative arrangements for the immersion ceremony.
To address this issue, walls are being constructed on both sides of the K-C Canal at Vinayaka Ghat to create a tank-like structure for water storage. Additionally, approximately 2 million liters of water, which currently goes to waste, will be diverted and stored in a specially constructed tank at the Ghat. The Kurnool Municipal Corporation is also preparing heavy vehicles and necessary facilities for the event.
Bharath further suggested that committee members inspect the K-C Canal and the Handri-Neeva area for finalizing the arrangements. The final plan for the immersion will be determined based on the committee members' inspection and decision.
