After taking over the famous Jambori Maidan in Worli for Dahi Handi celebration, the BJP has now announced a massive event in Thane—Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s turf. Party leader Shivaji Patil has announced Rs 51-lakh prizes for all at the event to be held at Hiranandani Meadows. “This is one of the biggest Dahi Handi celebrations not only in Thane but in the state,” he said.

The mandal that will erect a 9-layer human pyramid and break the handi will get Rs 11 lakh as prize. File pic
