The Brihanmumbai Sarvajanik Ganesh Utsav Samiti is demanding access to the road over bridge at Sion for vehicles in the procession of Ganesh idols heading for immersion. As the Sion road over bridge has been closed for heavy vehicles, the committee will be raising this issue and other matters related to the celebration of Ganesh festival in the city with Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and BMC officials.

President of the committee advocate Naresh Dahibawkar said during the discussion the members also raised concern about the roads which have been temporarily repaired by the BMC. “We have decided to raise these issues with the CM Shinde and BMC officials,” said Dahibawkar. Large number of Ganesh utsav mandals and families use Sion road over bridge on the day of immersion. “If the bridge is closed for heavy vehicles, it will create difficulties for the Ganesh devotees during the immersion process. For the same reason, we have also decided to demand access to Gokhale Bridge at Andheri,” he said.
