The police in Maharashtra's Thane district has served a notice on a Ganesh pandal, which faced action last year over its decoration related to the split in the Shiv Sena, to desist from using any display material or audio clips that could trigger law and order problems, the organisers said on Wednesday.

According to a functionary of the Shiv Sena (UBT)-controlled Vijay Tarun Mandal at Kalyan, their theme for the year is “democracy is at peril”. The Mahatma Phule Chowk police sent them a notice on Monday, he said.
