According to the new guidelines,

in sarvajanik mandals who will be permitted to become a part of arrival and
immersion of the idol which has to be without procession, provided they are
fully vaccinated.
The 10 fully vaccinated members
who will be allowed should have completed 15 days after the second dose and for
household idols; similar guidelines will be applied wherein five members should
have completed 15 days after the second dose. Only then they will be allowed to
be a part of arrival and visarjan.
Further, restrictions have been
imposed for citizens and for members of the Ganeshotsav mandals with regards to
entering the water during visarjan. Along with them, senior citizens and
children are not to be allowed in the place of immersion. In total there are
743 natural immersion sites in the city.
According to the media reports,
an advisory that was released by the BMC has stated, “The immersion of the
idols of the Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandals in the containment zones should be
done in pandals or it should be postponed. Please note that arrangements have
to be made at home for the immersion of Ganesh idols in sealed buildings. If
the house/building is declared as a restricted area during Ganeshotsav, the
restricted area rules should be followed. The rules laid down by BMC/police
administration should be strictly followed.”
