Another year, another record?

Visarjan peaked at 31 hours in 2022 and lasted over 30 hours last year

The city is preparing for the grand Ganesh Visarjan procession, with the Pune Police deploying a force of 7,000 personnel to ensure the smooth conduct of the celebrations.

The duration of the Ganesh Visarjan procession has been a significant issue in Pune.

Despite the police's assurances of completing the immersion procession earlier last year, it took 30 hours and 25 minutes, making it the second-longest in the last seven years. In 2022, the procession lasted the longest, at 31 hours.

Thus this year, it will be closely watched whether the procession sets a new record for duration, either surpassing last year's or significantly shortening it.
