“There are several buildings that are coming up in the area, and if water starts gushing out of the manholes as it did during last year’s festival, it would make them weak and vulnerable to collapse,” said Suresh Kumar of the Anandbagh residents’ welfare association.

Asked about residents grievance, GHMC official said that to make the immersion a hassle free they will create another bund inside the lake.

Another resident rued that, apart from the immersion process authorities also fail to control traffic congestion.
