Dahi Handi coincided with Independence Day and was celebrated across Mumbai with much joy and positivity. Sadly, it wasn’t all rosy as two govindas lost their lives while attempting to break the matka.

A total of 117 people were injured during yesterday’s festival and like each year, the question of safety still remains.

Out of the two who lost their lives, one 21-year-old boy died after suffering an epileptic attack in Palghar, while in Airoli, a 34-year-old died of electrocution while forming a human pyramid as part of the festival.
