For Ganeshotsav this year, the BMC from Ward-GS which includes the areas of NM Joshi Marg and Worli, took to Twitter to inform that they have increased the number of artificial ponds to nine from two last year.

Amidst the coronavirus crisis in Mumbai, the civic body has imposed certain restrictions with regards to the immersion of the idols. The BMC has asked the devotees to avoid going to the seashore in order to halt overcrowding. Moreover, it has asked people to use the nearest artificial pond for the purpose of immersion.

The BMC had earlier stated that in order to immerse an idol, collection centres have been initiated at various places. The idol can be deposited in these collection centres for immersion. I S Chahal, BMC Commissioner, has further directed the Assistant Commissioners to set up immersion idol collection centres in all the departments.

Moreover, other options have also been suggested by the civic body. In case someone wants to immerse the idols outside the house in the traditional way, the idols should be submitted to the civic body directly as the devotees will not be permitted to venture into the beaches.

If the above option is not acceptable, then the immersion must be done at home. The BMC has also appealed to the people to bring the idol in advance in order to avoid overcrowding or large processions.
