Maharashtra: Police Warn Dahi Challenging Mandalas Against Transmission Ban | Mumbai News

MUMBAI / THANE: Individual police stations issue warnings and summon govinda pathaks, warning them of pre-trial detention and punitive actions if they defy the ban of Dahi handi state. Some Dahi handi mandalas have indicated that they will proceed with the human pyramid at the Gokulashtami festival on Tuesday despite the coveted restrictions.
Officers at the Byculla police station confirmed that they had sent a notice to Tadwadi govinda pathak, warning them to follow state guidelines. Jogeshwari police warned in the same way that Jai Jawan govinda mandal against breaking the law.
“Smaller mandalas are on the decline because they don’t want to risk the wrath of the police. Their members are hardworking professionals who can’t afford to get involved in police cases, just as they are resuming their livelihoods. after the closure, “a spokesman for the president said. The bigger teams also did not reveal their plans for Tuesday, but said they “will do something to celebrate.”
The charge of the combat brigade is led by the MNS (Maharashtra Navnirman Sena), which openly admits that it will defy the Gokulashtami state ban by gathering Dahi Hand events. The party has been networking with aggrieved mandalas who are upset to cancel. On Sunday, MNS leader Bala Nandgaonkar visited a field in Thane to assess preparations.
MNS district president Thane Palghar, Avinash Jadhav, said they would “go ahead” with their Dahi Hand plans as scheduled. He said more than 40 mandates had already registered for the event. “If the BJP can hold mass rallies, Shiv Sena can organize protests, why can’t our young people celebrate Janmashtami?” said Jadhav.
Mandals questioned state permission for Ganeshotsav, which lasts 11 days, while denying them his one-day festival. When the state health working group noted that dahi handi was a contact sport involving about twenty participants, the mandalas asked permission so that fully vaccinated members could indulge.
