Shrimant Dagadusheth Halwai Ganpati Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal Trust will provide insurance cover of Rs50 crore to the entire 1-km area surrounding the mandal.
Shrimant Dagadusheth Halwai Ganpati Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal Trust, which draws the largest crowd during the festival, will provide insurance cover of Rs50 crore to the entire 1-km area surrounding the mandal, covering even people visiting the mandal under the scheme.
The mandal has had insurance cover for Ganeshotsav celebrations ever since the German Bakery blasts in 2010, after alleged Indian Mujahideen operative Qateel Siddiqui had stated he had tried planting a bomb at the trust’s Ganesh temple. The insurance is more significant this year in the wake of the serial blasts on Jungli Maharaj Road on August 1 and the terror threats received by the police.
To provide security to the visitors and participants for the mandal’s programmes during the 10-day festival, the trust has sought the insurance cover. Ashok Godse, the trustee said, “Like the last two years, we have insured the area and the visitors for Rs50 crore for the entire 12 days of the festival. The insurance policy will cover people within the 1-km radius. In case of loss of life, the survivors will get a compensation of Rs5 lakh per person and in case of injury it will be up to Rs2.5 lakh depending on the seriousness of the injury. About 10,000 people are insured for death cover.”
The trust has also secured the area with 120 CCTV cameras and 150 security guards, with three control rooms (Datta temple, at the main temple and at the police Zone I office at Faraskhana building) viewing the footage at all times.
