Ganpati will get smooth ride

Mumbaikar are mostly facing problem of roads because of potholes. A pothole is where the surface of the road has been eroded and a hollow has formed. Potholes can form quickly and are a hazard to the travelling public. It’s always a bumpy ride on city’s potholed roads. 

 It’s certain to be a bumpy ride for Lord Ganesha when mandals start bringing in the idols in next day, thanks to the potholes dotting the roads. Hence, the Brihanmumbai Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Samanvay Samiti has advised its mandals to keep gunny bags, metal strips or anything else they can think of to cover potholes temporarily and ensure balance and a comparatively smooth ride for the idols.

Devotees are sentimental about the idols’ well being. Even a little damage to an idol while travelling can hurt their feelings. That’s why samiti have been sending out messages to mandals to use such bags to cover such potholes so that no devotees will hurt and ganpati will have smooth ride on roads because of such bags.
