Disaster management officer of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) stated “So far we have sent 170 Govindas to government hospitals, 152 of which have been discharged after treatment.18 are still in hospitals and some of them are critical.”
Over 170 govindas were injured in Mumbai this Thursday on the occasion of Janmashtami.This resulted during the dahi-handi competition where the govindas formed human pyramids to reach the pots of curd. The dahi-handi celebration was observed all over with several places offering prize money of Rs 25 lakhs.
Devotees are of the view that the broken dahi-handi helps to keep away negative influences and mice away from home.
