The Khairatabad Ganesh Utsav Committee is planning to make a trial run of the trolley today for the procession around 1 am. 

It is learned that the committee is using the same trolley for the Ganesh immersion from the last 25 years. 

Every year they repair the vehicle and place the 48 tonnes of gigantic Ganesh idol on it with the help of a crane. The Ganesh shobayatra will be carried on the trolley during the procession.
