On the occasion of Dahi Handi, the Mumbai police and Traffic police have jointly launched a campaign against modified silencers that create a racket amid the festivities. This year, it was observed that a majority of Govinda Pathaks removed the silencers from their bikes to create an uproar. The nuisance caused by this started on Wednesday night and continued until late Thursday night.

Both the traffic and city police worked together to conduct a crackdown and apprehended several individuals until late on Thursday. It was also noted that these Govindas did not fear getting caught, as they were seen wearing T-shirts printed with the photos of MLAs and corporators.
