Nashik Plans Online Permissions for Public Ganesh Mandals
Nashik is planning a new online system for public Ganesh mandals.
Currently, mandal representatives may need to visit several government offices for different permissions.
The new system would let them submit forms and documents online.
Police, municipal, fire and electricity departments would review the applications.
Permissions could then be granted digitally if all rules are followed.
Applicants may also be able to check their application status online.
Mandals will still need to keep roads and emergency routes clear and follow fire and noise rules.
Officials believe the system will save time and improve public safety.
Nashik administration plans to introduce an online permission system for public Ganesh mandals before the upcoming festival.
The system will combine applications for pandals, processions, sound systems, electricity connections and law-and-order requirements.
Applications and documents will be reviewed by departments including police, municipal, fire and electricity authorities.
Applicants may be able to track application status and receive digital notices about missing documents or shortcomings.
Mandals must follow traffic, emergency access, fire safety, noise pollution and public safety rules.
