“This is a shining example of the Ganga Jamuni tehzeeb (culture) of our city and State and the harmony with which people are coexisting. This automatically leads to more development and growth. I appeal to all involved to exercise the utmost restraint in their celebrations and respect the sensitivities of each other to protect the greatness of this city,” CV Anand said.

The CP said that the police were conducting night patrolling effectively in the city to maintain law and order. “Apart from providing security at the Ganesh pandals, security is also beefed up near the pandals for immersion and route maps are readied. Arrangements have been completed at the Tankbund and other ponds spread across the city. The State Government is taking steps to ensure that the festivities conclude in a peaceful atmosphere in coordination with the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) and various government departments,” CV Anand said.
