A coordination meeting with all the government departments was held at the municipal office on Thursday for smooth conduct of idols immersion after the Vinayaka Chaviti festival. Tirupati Varasiddi Vinayaka Mahotsav Committee (TVVMC) convener Samanchi Srinivas urged the authorities to complete Srinivasa Sethu works for facilitating hassle-free idols processions, providing illumination, filling of water in the pond at the Sagar for immersion of idols, providing sanitary and health staff along with an ambulance, tight security by the police all along the routes that procession pass through till the Sagar, deployment of 25 expert swimmers and diverting buses through Ramanuja Circle to facilitate procession.
