To manage the visarjan process efficiently, the corporation has established 10 control rooms, with one central control room in Virar. Each of the 9 divisions has one control room to oversee the visarjan activities in their respective areas. These control rooms play a crucial role in coordinating and monitoring the visarjan process, ensuring a hassle-free experience for citizens.

In terms of healthcare, the corporation has set up 21 mobile medical units at major visarjan sites, each equipped with one doctor, one ANM (Auxiliary Nurse Midwife), and one paramedic. Additionally, 105 artificial ponds have been created across the city, with medical facilities at 21 of them. Immediate medical assistance will be provided in case of any emergencies during the immersion.

Furthermore, the visarjan sites are well-equipped with amenities such as welcome kiosks, idol collection centers, immersion points, clean water facilities, sound systems, and lighting arrangements. Safety measures, including a well-trained fire brigade, have been put in place to address any unforeseen circumstances.

In conclusion, the Vasai-Virar Municipal Corporation is fully prepared to ensure a smooth and eco-friendly visarjan of Lord Ganesha idols this Anant Chaturdashi.
