After being told by the BMC that heavy vehicles weighing only 16 tonnes will be allowed on the Chinchpokli road over bridge (ROB) — that has been reported to be in a poor state by Indian Institutes of Technology-Bombay — the Chinchpokli Chintamani Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal will now reroute the start of their idol's arrival procession.

The mandal has requested everyone attending the procession on August 11 to wait near Ganesh Talkies and not crowd the bridge. The idol will be brought from a workshop at Arthur Road by a few mandal members; they have assured the BMC and traffic police that the bridge won't be crowded.
