Over 50,000 police personnel will be deployed to oversee the smooth immersion of nearly two lakh Ganesh idols on Saturday (September 6, 2025), marking the culmination of the 11-day Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations, Telangana Director General of Police Jitender said.
Hyderabad Police Commissioner C.V. Anand said that security and traffic management measures had been scaled up for what is expected to be one of the largest immersions in the country. About 50,000 idols are set to be immersed in the Hussainsagar alone, while the citywide immersion processions are likely to stretch over 40 hours.
