Despite an increase in the number of Ganesh mandals celebrating Ganeshotsav in the city by a whopping 500, this year it took one-and-a half hour less than last year to conclude the visarjan. The final immersion took place near S M Joshi bridge around 1.55 pm yesterday. The overall visarjan time for the city -- from Wednesday to Thursday -- was clocked at 27 hours and 25 minutes.The early wrap-up was attributed to late night downpour and stringent regulations implemented by the police, such as asking mandals to cut down on the number of performances of dhol-tasha troupes during immersion procession, among others.u00a0
