Immersion at three lakes on outskirts

HYDERABAD: Hundreds of Ganesh idols were immersed at three other lakes -- in Saroornagar, Safilguda and Hasmathpet in Bowenpally -- on Tuesday.

Some 5,000 idols were immersed at Saroornagar lake, 400 in Safilguda lake and over 100 in Hasmathpet lake till midnight. At Safilguda, authorities made arrangements to prevent the lake from pollution.

They placed sand bags on one side of the lake for immersing idols. Officials also took measures to remove remnants of idols on Wednesday.

The immersion was allowed only after searching all the three lakes with the bomb disposal squads.
