“By 10.30 am, we opened all the junctions and roads in the city for the traffic.  Compared to previous year the process was completed three hours early,” said CV Anand. 

The Hyderabad CP said they had planned in a way to ensure the immersion process ended by 6 am or 7 am, however, due to some reasons and the non-cooperation of a few pandal organizers it could not happen. “We will follow up with the organizers and ensure next time they fully cooperate with the police.  Also, there were issues like vehicle breakdowns, power cables hindering tall idols, etc that contributed to the delay, said CV Anand.
