Hyderabad Clears More Than 24 Tonnes of Ganesh Idol Waste

After 11 days of Ganesh celebrations, many idols were immersed in Hyderabad’s lakes and water bodies.

This left behind flowers, पूजा materials, decorations and other waste.

Three municipal corporations worked to clean the water bodies.

Together, they collected more than 24 tonnes of waste.

The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation collected 11.5 tonnes.

Cyberabad collected six tonnes, and Malkajgiri collected 6.5 tonnes.

Thousands of sanitation workers helped with the cleanup.

Special machines were also used to remove floating waste from Tank Bund.

Officials said the cleanup could take two to three days.
