Ahead of Ganesh festival, DGP calls for geo-tagging of pandals, advance planning for immersion
Before the Ganesh festival, the Director General of Police urged authorities to geo‑tag all pandal locations and to plan immersion sites in advance. The move aims to improve crowd control and reduce environmental damage during the festival’s procession and immersion ceremonies. Officials said the data would help coordinate traffic, safety measures and cleanup operations to prevent future incidents.
