Mumbai’s Lalbaugcha Raja Mandal to celebrate Ganeshotsav abiding COVID-19 norms
Lalbaugcha Raja Ganesh Mandal, of Mumbai, would celebrate the Hindu festival- Ganeshotsav in a traditional way following all COVID-19 related norms. Last year, amid the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Mandal had cancelled all festivities and kept a blood/plasma donation camp instead.
Ganeshotsav is a 10-day-festival, in which, devotees worship Lord Ganesha for well-being and prosperity. This festival is celebrated with great pomp and show all over India. But, Maharashtra experiences an altogether different flora-fauna.
Blood donation camp organized last year
The Lalbaugcha Raja Ganpati, is India’s one of the oldest and most famous pandals. Established 89-years-ago, it is also known as Navsacha Ganpati? (one who fulfils wishes). According to reports, more than 1.5 million people visit the pandal daily. More than 300 hundred workers organise this event and the idol is kept on display for 11 days.
On the 12th day, it is immersed in the Arabian sea, led by a magnificent procession.
This year, Ganeshotsav will start on September 10. Amid speculations of COVIDs third wave, the Maharashtra government had restricted the height of idols to four feet in public celebrations and two feet in homes.
The state government also issued guidelines to avoid overcrowding of people in public places. Mandals have been asked to seek permission from local body governments before setting up pandals.
The Central government had banned the selling, buying, production and distribution of Ganesh idols made from Plaster of Paris (POP). Strict actions would be taken against violators and a heavy fine would be imposed.

An elderly couple was mauled by a tiger in Chor Bawali on January 25 while on their way from Narsinghpur (Madhya Pradesh) to Nagpur on January 25. The couple was accompanied by their 25-year-old son in a car. Following the tiger attack, the couple was admitted to Kingsway Hospital in Nagpur.
While on their way to Nagpur, the family of three stopped near Chor Bawali for passing urine. When the 58-year-old woman got out of the car, the tiger, which was probably wounded by a previous vehicular assault, caught hold of the woman’s hand and bit her thumb. When the woman’s husband stepped out of the car to help his wife, the tiger attacked him as well and injured his right leg. A terrfied son started throwing stones at the tiger, who eventually ran away.
The couple was given first aid by the bystanders before being driven to Nagpur by the son to Kingsway hospital. Speaking to Nation Next, treating surgeon Dr Prakash Jain informed that the family was terrified when it arrived at the hospital. Dr Jain said: “The couple is now stable. Tiger mauling is always serious. The couple was lucky to have sustained minor injuries in the incident.”
The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has made terms like ‘oximeter,’ ‘saturation level,’ ‘quarantine,’ and ‘N95’ a part of our daily vocabulary. Another thing, which has gained immense popularity over the last two years is the paracetamol tablet ‘Dolo 650,’ which has been prescribed by doctors during 1st, 2rd and now the 3rd wave of the pandemic in India.
The popularity of tablet, which is manufactured by Micro labs, has led several to several memes on the internet. Dilip Surana, Chairman and Managing Director of Micro Labs, expressed his surprise at the unexpected popularity of the drug in an interview with Money Control. He said: It has always been a popular brand among doctors across India. However, we did not expect the kind of popularity that Dolo-650 gained recently because we have never advertised the tablet directly to the public.
Here are some of the hilarious ‘Dolo 650’ memes doing rounds on the internet:
