First came the ban on banners. Ganpati mandals would be allowed to put up posters and banners only till 100 metres from their pandals, ruled the BMC. And now the civic body wants organisers of the city’s largest religious festival to also read the fine print. This, they say, clearly states that even within this 100 metre area, only sponsorship banners will be allowed. A circular to this effect was issued to all the Ganesh mandals earlier thisweek.

The Lalbaughcha Raja organisers claim that not displaying banners will lead to chaos. Pic/File Photo
