As the 10-day-long Ganeshotsav festival kicked off in Maharashtra on September 19, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has identified 13 Mumbai bridges as 'unsafe' for the grand processions and immersions associated with the annual celebration. The BMC issued a notice on Tuesday, September 20, categorizing these bridges as 'dangerous' due to their deteriorated condition.

The Mumbai bridges in question, all of which are Road over Bridges (RoB), are mostly located above railway lines, making them crucial thoroughfares for the city's bustling population.
