BMC to maintain e-database of Ganesh mandals in Mumbai

Online registration for Ganapati mandals started

PTI | August 5, 2010



Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is maintaining an electronic database of all the Ganesh mandals to simplify the permission procedure and to bring to book those mandals that flout norms.

"We have started the process of online registration for Ganapati mandals on the BMC website and are maintaining e-database of each Ganesh madal. It will be easier for us to grant permission to mandals and ensure that no rules are flouted," Additional Municipal Commissioner Aseem Kumar Gupta told PTI.

The e-database includes name of the mandal, location, size and permission period among other details. The Ganesh festival begins on September 11.

"Often, we find that mandals exceed their permissible space allotted to them. They also exceed the time limit and sound levels. A database on the list of permissions will help us nail errant mandals. This will also be put up online to ensure transparency," Gupta said.

The BMC has waived off the security deposit taken from Ganpati mandals and has instead asked them to level up roads that are dug up to erect make shift platforms for the deity.
