Civic-run hospitals are all set to treat Govindas who may sustain injuries during the Dahi Handi festival free of cost. The chief medical superintendent has directed all peripheral hospitals to reserve 2-5 beds and keep doctors on standby for emergencies during the celebration.

This is the first time after the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2020 that Dahi Handi is set to be celebrated in full glory as all restrictions have now been lifted. Every year, several Govindas get injured by falling from human pyramids. In 2018, a 26-year-old Dharavi resident even lost his life after falling from the top of the pyramid. In view of this, Chief Medical Superintendent Vidya Thakur issued the notification.
