Pune Police Direct Dagdusheth Halwai Ganesh Mandal To Begin Procession By 4 PM
September 16, 2024
To accelerate the Ganesh immersion procession, the Pune city police have requested the Shrimant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganesh Mandal to commence the procession at 4 PM on Tuesday. Typically, the Manache Ganpati procession begins at 9 AM, but due to the delays observed between processions, the police have asked for an earlier start.
In 2023, the processions extended over 30.25 hours, while in 2022, they lasted 31 hours. Therefore, the police are working to reduce the duration of the procession.
Amitesh Kumar, the Pune city police commissioner, stated, “We have informed all Ganesh mandals to ensure that everything proceeds according to plan. The Dagdusheth Halwai Ganesh Mandal has confirmed they will begin the procession at 4 PM, so we are optimistic that it will conclude on time.” Regarding the dhol tasha pathak, the police have conducted a meeting with mandal representatives to promote voluntary adherence to the law during the immersion procession, Kumar added.
