In Nashik, Ganesh Mandals and the police have coordinated to fix specific immersion timings for each mandal.
For the past few years, it was seen that the bigger mandals were not following the schedule. Due to this, other smaller mandals were not able to reach the immersion place on time, and many mandals had objected to this. A meeting of the mandals was held to find a solution, in which an agreement was finally reached.
Main decisions and schedule:
- The procession will start from Wakdi Barav in the traditional manner at 10.30 am.
- Each mandal in the procession has been allowed to stop at 12 places for 20 minutes.
- The entire procession will be monitored through drones and CCTV. Deputy Commissioner of Police Monika Raut clarified that action will be taken against the mandals violating the prescribed rules.
25 major Ganesh mandals of the city will participate in this year's procession. The order of these mandals has also been decided by the police, and the mandals have also agreed to it. Ganeshotsav Mandal President Sameer Shete, Deputy Commissioner of Police Monika Raut, Assistant Deputy Commissioner of Police Nitin Jadhav, along with office-bearers of various mandals and police officers, were present in this meeting.
