Kurnool gears up for Ganesh immersion despite water scarcity challenges

The Andhra Pradesh Industries Minister conducted an inspection of arrangements being made in Kurnool for the Ganesh idol immersion festivities, assessing the readiness of civic infrastructure and support systems ahead of the celebrations.

During his tour, the Minister issued directives to district officials to address the critical challenge of water availability for the immersion ceremony. Officials have been tasked with making alternative arrangements to ensure sufficient water supply despite the ongoing scarcity affecting the region.

Beyond water management, the Minister emphasized the need for robust security measures and adequate infrastructure to handle the expected gathering of devotees. The inspection covered key immersion sites and related facilities, with officials instructed to complete all necessary preparations in time.

The directions come as Kurnool, like several parts of South India, continues to grapple with water shortage concerns. The festival preparations underscore the administration's commitment to ensuring ceremonial observances proceed smoothly despite resource constraints affecting the district.
