Grand processions mark immersion of Lord Ganesh idols in Visakhapatnam

The Hindu  

The immersion of Lord Ganesh idols was a festive affair in the city on Thursday, with grand processions being taken out on city thoroughfares. Large quantities of PoP material and plastic waste were also left behind by the revellers, in flagrant defiance of the many appeals made by the district administration and environmental organisations to opt for clay idols. The GVMC deployed nearly 700 additional sanitation workers in all zones except Zone 5, at immersion points at the beach and other suitable water bodies in the city. A GVMC health officer said sanitation workers were appointed at the immersion centres to collect leaves, flowers and other decorative items brought by devotees at the immersion sites.
