Ganesh Idols Topple During Transportation in Maharashtra Amid Rain and Road Issues
During Ganeshotsav preparations in Maharashtra, two incidents involved Ganesh idols toppling amid transportation challenges. In Kurla, a 15-foot idol collapsed after its trolley hit a pothole, leading to minor injuries and a replacement idol sourced from Ghatkopar. Separately, in Nallasopara and Vasai-Virar, sudden rain caused idols to fall while devotees attempted to cover them, trapping four to five people briefly but resulting in only minor injuries. Local residents aided rescue efforts, and idols were safely recovered and transported to their pandals.
