As many as 2,000 personnel of police and the Home Guard will be deployed to ensure the smooth conduct of Ganesh idol immersion processions in Latur district of Maharashtra on Tuesday, news agency PTI reported.


A police officer said the procession routes will be monitored through CCTV cameras and drones.


More than 1,300 Ganesh mandals are expected to join the immersion processions in Latur city and district, the Maharashtra Police said.


He said help centres will be set up for children and senior citizens, while designated sites have been earmarked for collecting Ganpati idols.

"A total of 120 police officers and 1,250 personnel, along with 950 Home Guards, units of the State Reserve Police Force, four platoons of the Riot Control Squad, and two Quick Response Teams will be on duty in Latur district," an officer from Maharashtra Police said.
