With gatari amavasya today and Shravan — the holy month of Hindus — about to start tomorrow, the Sanjay Gandhi National Park authorities increased patrolling on its periphery and near Vihar lake, as people come to party in order to celebrate gatari. The park authorities have also taken the help of SRPF for patrolling, with instructions to take action against trespassers.

Every year in the monsoon people illegally go to Vihar lake close to Sai Bangoda village near Aarey and Film City to party. They usually reach the banks of the lake via a trail that passes through the Bangoda village near Royal Palms adjacent to Aarey Milk Colony.
