This year Ganpati visarjan will be a breeze for senior citizens in the city, as large trucks with inbuilt artificial ponds (visarjan raths) will reach their doorsteps for the ritual. The initiative, led by the Mumbai division of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), has been named Visarjan Aaplya Dari (visarjan at your doorstep).
Speaking to mid-day, Tajinder Singh Tiwana, president-BJYM (Mumbai), said, "We thought of this idea after we got many calls from senior citizens in the city, requesting help for Ganesh idol immersions, as their children work abroad. Most of them live in Mumbai alone."
