With Ganeshotsav 2026 concluding on Anant Chaturdashi on Friday, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is set to expand its ‘One Ganpati, One Tree’ initiative, aimed at linking Ganpati idol immersion with tree plantation and conservation, the civic body stated in a press release on Saturday.

As part of the initiative, Mumbai Mayor Ritu Tawde on Saturday planted saplings using the dissolved shadu (clay) and water collected after immersing an eco-friendly Ganpati idol at her official residence in Byculla.
