Mormugao DySP Gurudas Kadam dismantled a DJ sound system installed on trucks ahead of Ganesh Visarjan at Mangor, reiterating that strict action will be taken against the use of loud music and DJ systems during the immersion procession.

Speaking on the enforcement measures, Kadam said police had held three meetings with the Deputy Collector regarding the use of DJ systems during Ganesh Visarjan. However, DJ sound systems were reportedly seen during the previous 1.5-day visarjan procession, which he attributed to a shortage of police personnel.

Kadam stated that police personnel have now been deployed in full force to ensure that DJ sound systems are not permitted during the visarjan procession.
