Lifesavers from a state-appointed agency, along with volunteers, will assist the Goa administration in maintaining public safety during the immersion of Ganesh idols at 57 different locations in the coastal state, an official announced on Friday.

Teams of lifesavers and volunteers will be stationed at 45 beaches and 12 other 'visarjan' (immersion) sites, as stated by an official from the agency responsible for safeguarding lives near the seafront.

In scenarios where sea conditions are rough, lifesavers will provide support by carrying the idols into deeper sections of the water for immersion following the ceremonial puja, according to Navin Awasthi, CEO of Drishti Marine.
