Police were out in full strength all over the city and suburbs for the immersion ceremonies that kicked off in the morning in most areas with many small family and hand-held idols arriving at various immersion sites.
Metal detectors, closed circuit television cameras, hand-held metal detectors, road blocks, loudspeakers and floodlights had been installed at most of the venues to ensure the immersion ceremonies pass off without any untoward incident. (AFP Photo)
