Traffic Curbs In Hyderabad For Khairatabad Ganesh For 11 Days

The Hyderabad police has come up with a plan to ensure smooth flow of traffic in the city in view of rush of people to get a glimpse of Khairatabad ganesh which is one of the biggest in the city. The khairatabad ganesh is about 57 inches this year.  The idol weighs about 45 tonnes. The beautiful idol of Lord Ganesh is a result of the hardwork put in by some 150 artists who toiled round the clock since May. Workers from across the country like Kolkata, Chennai and Mumbai worked on this idol which is about 24 feet wide. The traffic police has placed curbs in the city for eleven days of ganesh festivities beginning September 13 to September 23. The restrictions and divertions will start from 3pm.

Here's a look...

Vehicles from Mint compound lane and Necklace rotary would not be allowed to enter the route towards Khairatabad Library and Ganesh Idol. The vehicles will be diverted from government printing press, Khairtabad.

Vehicles from Rajiv Gandhi statue cannot enter Khairatabad library. They will have to take a diversion towards Nirankari bhavan at Rajiv Gandhi statue.
