Police appeal to citizens for common Ganesh idol
NASHIK: In its bid to ensure that noise pollution stays under control and that there are no law-and-order issues and traffic snarls, the Panchavati police are making efforts to ensure that the concept of 'one village one Ganapati' is adopted in Panchvati .
The Panchvati police recently held a meeting with corporators in their jurisdiction to explain the importance of having one public celebration in as many areas as possible.
Speaking on the initiative, senior police inspector of the Panchavati police station, Bajirao Bhosale said, "We explained to the corporators that the fewer the the Ganapati mandals, the better it would be for streamlining vehicular traffic. Apart from this, it will also help bring down sound and air pollution and not cause trouble to elderly people in the neighbourhood and patients admitted in hospitals."
Bhosale added that the local corporators assured the police that they would bring in as many mandals together as possible to install one Ganesh idol.
"Though we are making all efforts to see that there are four festival celebrations, for every 20 mandals, we hope that the number of public celebrations drop by 50% this year.
Bhosala also said that in a bid to ensure smooth traffic flow on Peth Road, instructions had already been given to concerned mandals about not setting up pandals along the road.
According to the police, the response to their public plea is expected to be enthusiastic in the Makhmalabad, Mhasrool and MERI areas .
A few days ago, police commissioner Kulwant Kumar Sarangal also appealed to the residents of the Makhmalabad area to organize a consolidated Ganpati celebration for the entire community, instead of having separate idols at different localities in the same area.
Corporator Damodar Mankar said that the 12,000 residents of Makhmalabad have already decided to have only one common celebration. He said that efforts were underway to convince residents of urban localities in his ward to join the initiative.
Panchavati and Bhadrakali being the oldest parts of the city, see the maximum number of Ganpati mandals. During festival season people arrive to the local pandals in large numbers to see the processions and for darshan.
