It is a small step for Ganesha immersion and a giant leap to save the water bodies in Hyderabad. As a first-of-its-kind large scale initiative for Ganesha nimajjanam , GHMC has tied up with Pune-based KinderSports LLP to install portable pools at 24 locations (see box) across the city. Made of industrial grade PVC, these 20x10 metres tanks mounted on an anti-rust steel structure can hold up to 4 lakh litres of water so that around 10- 15,000 Ganeshas of around 1.5 to 3 feet height can be immersed.
Hyderabad-born Nikhil Girish Laddha, founder of KinderSports hopes these portable tanks could promote environment-friendly immersion practices in the city. “The Tank Bund that we have seen since childhood will not be the same for the future generations if it is constantly polluted,” he says.
