The city taking active measures to minimize the environmental impact of the event. Ganesh Visarjan falls on Anant Chaturdashi, a day considered highly auspicious for bidding farewell to Lord Ganesha. However, along with the spiritual fervor, officials and environmentalists are calling for greater responsibility in the immersion process. The usage of clay idols and natural materials has been encouraged to avoid pollution of water bodies, a significant concern in previous years.
GHMC Aims to protect the environment
The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has set up designated immersion points across various lakes and artificial ponds to facilitate the process. Special guidelines have been issued to ensure that the immersion takes place in an orderly and eco-friendly manner. The GHMC has also deployed teams to monitor the cleanliness of these sites post-immersion. Officials have urged citizens to avoid using idols made from harmful materials like plaster of Paris, which can contaminate water bodies. Instead, they are promoting the use of biodegradable and eco-friendly idols. “This year, our goal is not only to celebrate the festival but to ensure that we protect the environment, “a senior GHMC official stated.

With a rising awareness of environmental sustainability, this year’s Ganesh Visarjan is poised to blend tradition with eco-conscious practices, ensuring a grand yet responsible farewell to Lord Ganesha.
