In 78th Year, Indore’s Rangpanchami Ger Draws Lakhs as Rajwada Is Cleared in an Hour

Pre-event safeguards, from CCTV oversight to route fixes, kept the procession orderly.

Overview

  • The Ger procession followed the Tori Corner–Rajwada route before returning to its endpoint, marking its 78th edition.
  • Authorities reported lakhs of participants using colours, gulal and water along the parade corridor.
  • The Indore Municipal Corporation cleared Rajwada and the route within about one hour using 400-plus sanitation workers and a fleet of sweepers, dumpers, JCBs and pressure jets.
  • Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargav and Municipal Commissioner Kshitij Singhal supervised the clean-up, after Singhal had earlier ordered the removal of redundant and dangling cables along the route.
  • Police and traffic managers enforced barricades, central CCTV monitoring, heavy-vehicle curbs from 6 am to 11 am and a full vehicle ban in core areas until the procession ended, with exceptions only for emergencies.
