With the BJP claiming Jambori Maidan in Worli, which is known for one of the most prominent Dahi Handi celebrations, the Shiv Sena has shifted its festivities to Worli Naka. Sena leaders said they did not opt for Jambori, where Sena leader Sachin Ahir used to organise the event earlier, following requests from locals citing close proximity of a children’s hospital. The BJP has announced a prize of Rs 1,11,111 for the mandal who would break the handi while the Sena has set the prize money for all at Rs 3-R4 lakh.
