Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation announced that the Deonar Abattoir will remain shut on September 4 and September 7 in observance of Paryushan by the Jain community. BMC chief and administrator Bhushan Gagrani, in an order dated August 30, stated, "After taking into consideration, the various aspects of this issue, I have concluded that BMC will announce one day closure to slaughter during Paryushan Parva i.e. Bhadarva Sud Ekam, every year, which falls on 4th September 2024 this year. The department will, however, review the dates of closure in a year and ensure that the total number of days in a year does not exceed 15 days."

The BMC order further stated, "As per the Corporation Resolution C.R No.777 dated 09 October 2015, it is observed that Paryushan Parva is not included in the list of dates wherein the Deonar Abattoir will be kept closed. However, Ganesh Chaturthi is one of the days on which Deonar Abattoir will be kept closed, which co-incidentally also falls on Bhadrapad Shudh-4 falling in Paryushan Parva, hence, on 7h September 2024, Deonar Abattoir will be kept closed."
