Superintendent of Police Siddarth Kaushal, who on Wednesday inspected some of the makeshift immersion ghats for the Ganesh Chaturthi festival, told police personnel not allow children making merry during the procession of Ganesh idols into the ghats.
He also suggested to officials to rope in expert swimmers ahead of the event and institute tight bandobast at all the immersion ghats to prevent any untoward incident.
Mr. Kaushal visited the Penna river bridge at Chennur on the National Highway and the Penna bridge at Siddavatam, where massive immersion ceremonies have been planned. Deputy Superintendent Md. Shareef, inspectors Ashok Reddy (special branch), Ramakrishna Reddy (Kamalapuram) and Purushotham Raju (Vontimitta) accompanied him.
