Bhopal Deploys Divers and Safety Measures for Ganesh Idol Immersion During Dol Gyaras
Bhopal Municipal Corporation has deployed 174 divers across seven immersion ghats to ensure safety during Ganesh idol immersion amid Dol Gyaras festivities. The deployment follows the 2019 Khatlapura Ghat tragedy and includes police personnel in shifts. Processions led by 'Bhopal ke Raja' moved through the Old City to Khatlapura Ghat, where immersion began with traditional music and chants. Safety measures include cleaned ghats, fire brigade presence, and traffic restrictions, while immersion in lakes remains prohibited per National Green Tribunal orders.
