Mandals asked to fill pits on roads post Ganeshotsav
Before Ganeshotsav, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) was under pressure from mandals and politicians to fill the potholes on roads.
After the festival is over, the mandals are facing the heat of the municipal body.
Ganesh mandals are being criticized for not filling up the pits that had been dug to erect pandals during Ganeshotsav. BMC sources say that there are more than 50,000 pits of various sizes that need to be filled to smoothen the roads and sidewalks.
Apart from pits, the mandals also dug up roads to erect bamboos for archways, decoration, lighting and hoardings of the sponsors. Now the municipal body has asked all mandals in the city to fix the roads and footpaths within three days.
