Heavy rain disrupted the Ganesh shobha yatra and immersion in Karimnagar, affecting devotees as the district remained under an orange weather alert.
Heavy rain disrupted the Ganesh shobha yatra and immersion in Karimnagar and other parts of the erstwhile Karimnagar district on Wednesday.
The immersion of Ganesh idols was held across the erstwhile district. Devotees who had prepared to participate in the shobha yatra in large numbers were affected by the heavy rain in the evening. An orange alert has been issued for Karimnagar for two days.
Continuing the tradition, the shobha yatra began from the number one Ganesh pandal in the Patha Bazaar area of Karimnagar.
Transport minister Ponnam Prabhakar, Mayor Kolagani Srinivas, MLAs Gangula Kamalakar, Medipally Satyam and Kavvampally Satyanarayana and others launched the shobha yatra after performing special pujas. Collector Chitra Mishra and commissioner of police Gaush Alam also participated.
Elaborate arrangements were made for the shobha yatra and immersion. The immersion points were equipped with levelled grounds, lighting, barricades and drinking water facilities. Professional swimmers were deployed and cranes were used to immerse the idols.
