The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) held its Navratri coordination meeting along with event organisers at the civic headquarters on Wednesday, where some key decisions were taken for the upcoming celebrations. One of the suggestions made at the meeting was that all organisers make parking space for vehicles within the venue during dandiya and other Navratri events.
One of the major discussions during the meeting revolved around parking concerns during the upcoming festival. Officials from the Traffic department suggested that parking space for vehicles be provided within the event venue so that the celebrations are “more organised and hassle-free”. “It will not only benefit the attendees but also contribute to overall safety and accessibility,” the traffic department said, stressing that Navratri event organisers in the city must allocate dedicated space for parking within their venues.
