After a gap of two years, the Govinda Pathaks in Mumbai are excited to celebrate the festival without any Covid restrictions. With the growing enthusiasm among the Govindas, the Mumbai Police have begun to enforce security measures in the city. The Mumbai Traffic Police on Thursday announced traffic diversions ahead of the Janmashtami celebrations. 

In view of the festive celebrations, on August 19, various political parties have organised Dahi Handi programmes in the jurisdiction of Dadar Traffic Police Division.
