Water crisis dampens Vinayaka Chavithi celebrations in Vizag residential complexes

Residents of apartment complexes in Visakhapatnam are struggling with water scarcity as they prepare for Vinayaka Chavithi celebrations. The festival, which involves elaborate household rituals and idol immersion ceremonies, typically requires substantial water supply for cleaning and ceremonial purposes.

The water crisis has disrupted festivities across multiple residential complexes in the city, forcing residents to cope with limited supplies during a traditionally busy season. Local authorities have not yet announced measures to address the shortage during the festival period.
