The scheduled demolition of a Ganesh mandap in Murgaocha has been postponed following the hospitalization of the municipal corporation’s chief officer.
The Municipal Corporation of Murgaocha had planned to dismantle a temporary Ganesh mandap that had been erected for recent festivities. The operation was slated for early this week, but officials halted the work after the corporation's chief officer was admitted to a hospital for medical treatment.
Sources within the MMC confirmed that the officer’s condition required immediate attention, prompting the department to suspend all non‑essential activities, including the demolition. The decision was communicated to the local contractors and residents, who were asked to remain patient until further notice.
No injuries or damage have been reported from the postponement, and the mandap remains intact pending a rescheduled date. The MMC has pledged to issue an updated timeline once the officer recovers and normal operations resume.
