  "account": "Palghar, September 15, 2026: The streets of Palghar resounded with the chants of \"Ganpati Bappa Morya, Pudhchya Varshi Lavkar Ya\" as devotees bid adieu to the one-and-a-half-day Ganpati idols on Tuesday. The immersion of numerous household and public Ganesh idols commenced in the afternoon and persisted well into the evening. According to the district administration, a total of 4,648 Ganpati idols were installed in the Palghar district this year, comprising 4,449 household idols and 199 public idols. Robust security measures were implemented at key immersion points to ensure the serene and incident-free conduct of processions and immersion ceremonies. In Palghar town, these measures were particularly focused at the Palghar Ganesh Kund, where a significant number of one-and-a-half-day idols were immersed. Police officers and personnel were stationed at the venue to manage crowds and maintain the safety of the immersion process. The Palghar Municipal Council also stepped in to handle crowd control and cleanliness at the immersion site. Chief Management Officer Irfan Pathan, accompanied by municipal staff and security guards, oversaw the arrangements. The civic administration prioritized cleanliness, collecting the Nirmalya generated during the celebrations with the help of the health department and transporting it through designated vehicles for proper disposal. As the immersion process concluded peacefully, the district administration and police ensured adequate lighting and security arrangements were in place. Crowding was monitored to avoid any issues, and measures were taken to prevent waste from being disposed of outside the designated areas.",
