22 Medical Emergencies During Pune Ganesh Immersion Due to Heat; Women and Drummers Affected


Additionally, first aid centers were established near Gokhale Hall on Laxmi Road, near Sweet Home on Kumthekar Road, Narayan Peth Police Station, and at SP College Chowk on Tilak Road. 

The event is known for its large crowds, particularly during the initial processions of prominent Ganesh idols. The clear skies contributed to the heat, prompting many to suffer from dehydration while waiting for a glimpse of the idols. 

Moreover, incidents occurred where 5 to 6 drummers were injured due to close proximity while playing. They are currently receiving treatment at nearby hospitals. The Ganesh immersion procession is a significant cultural event in Pune, drawing participants of all ages.
