If you want to do Ganpati visarjan at Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP), you will have to do it at your risk, because of crocodile sightings in the Dahisar river and stream. While the SGNP authorities were in no mood to allow visarjan in the park, they relented only on the condition that the police and BMC will ensure that no devotee enters the river or stream.

Around 6-8 crocodile hatchlings and their mother are frequently seen in the waters at SGNP. Pic/Naveena Mohan
