Meanwhile, all arrangements have been made for the immersion by the civic body officials. To prevent Plaster of Paris (PoP) idol immersion at Hussain Sagar, 12-km double layer barricades have been put up around the lake. Over 20,000 police personnel will be deployed during the immersion processions across the city, as per Tv9 Telugu.

The immersion will be held like it's done every year, as per GHMC officials. The final plan includes several Ganesh action teams (GAT), one team per every 3-4 km. Around a thousand people will be deployed by the HMDA to clear the remains of the idol and 122 drinking water camps have been set up.
