Hussainsagar goes silent after the buzz

Hectic activity over immersion ends with last of the Ganesh idols going down water on the evening of September 20
The last of the Ganesh idols went down the waters of the Hussainsagar at 5 p.m. on September 20, and the lake which was the centre of immersion activities since the last few days came back to normal.
Vehicular traffic was restored on the Tank Bund after being out of bounds for more than 30 hours as Hussainsagar was permitted for one “last time” by the Supreme Court for Ganesh idols immersion. As a ballpark estimate, more than 6,000 idols have been immersed, according to Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central Zone) P Viswa Prasad.
He said that more than 27,000 police personnel who were on bandobust duty heaved a sigh of relief as no untoward incident was reported during the immersion and the entire process went on smoothly. The hawk eye surveillance of thousands of cameras helped police to coordinate in real time and address the situation warranting police interference.
