The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is planning to establish a separate pandal for tourists at the Girgaum Chowpatty to witness its famous Ganpati visarjan (immersion). The decision was taken in civic chief Ajoy Mehta’s monthly meeting on Saturday. Officials said that BMC will also rope in the Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC) to set up the pandal. “The idea is to have a separate pandal with facilities like Wi-Fi connection, toilets, drinking water facilities for tourists ,” a senior civic official said. Meanwhile, the civic chief also asked all ward officials to register a police complaint against LPG gas suppliers if they are found providing gas cylinders to hawkers illegally.
