Now, Navratri fervour grips Mumbai

Mumbai, Sep 18 - Barely three weeks after the 12-day Ganpati festival, Mumbai will be decked up again for 10 days of Navratri celebrations that start Saturday. Nearly 2 million revellers are expected to participate in the festivities in 10,000 'mandals' (groups) across the city and its suburbs.

Mumbai Navratra Utsav Mandal (MNUM) spokesman Manoj Kotak said the organisers are taking extra precautions this year in the wake of last year's Mumbai terror attacks and the swine flu scare this year.

'The big 'mandals' (organisers) shall have their own private security, metal detectors at entrances and parking areas. Dog squads, closed circuit television cameras and strict entry norms will supplement the efforts of police at all venues,' Kotak said.

This year, on account of swine-flu, additional precautions shall be taken to screen people at the entry points.

'As during Ganeshotsav, those people found sneezing or coughing shall not be permitted to enter the venues as a precautionary measure,' he added.

The biggest events of the season are Falguni Pathak Navratri held in Goregaon east, followed by Priti-Pinki duo at Andheri west and Musa Paike at Kandivli west.

Besides these three, the other major events scheduled are Kishore Manraja at Mulund, Kora Kendra at Borivli, Bollywood music director Aadesh Shrivastava at Hotel Tulip Star, and Neeta Gala at Dadar.

One of the biggest in the eastern suburbs, the Jain Jagruti mandal will hold the event for only the last three days of the festival on account of the time limit of 10 p.m. imposed on festivities.

Another major group, the Ghatkopar Gujarati Samaj has opted out of the celebrations this year on account of the Maharashtra assembly elections, Kotak said.
