Though police lifted traffic restrictions in the Old City imposed as part of Ganesh immersion procession on Wednesday, the traffic came to standstill in most parts of city on Thursday.
According to sources, the Ganesh immersion was continued even on Thursday morning. Both Khairatabad and Balapur Ganesh idols were immersed in Hussainsagar Lake on Thursday morning.
As lakhs of people came to witness the immersion of Ganesh idols on Tank Bund, the traffic in areas including Khairatabad, Liberty, Raj Bhavan Road, Somajiguda, Secretariat and Lakdi-ka-pul, came to a halt causing inconvenience to employees and commuters.
