It Is Sad At Juhu Beach There Is No Adeqaute Waste Management for Durga Visarjan As Compared To The More Hyped Ganesh Visarjan, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
No organization or NGO that come forward during Ganesh Visarjan could be seen for Durga Visarjan , hardly any lifeguard I did not notice any, and all I am saying people should come forwad to make this feast a community affair for everyone..
Bollywood with powerful Bengali Badshahs could do more , no First Aid on the beach, and the beach was total crass commercialization , beggars galore, a hand ful of cops on the beat on the beach itself.
But the Durga Immersion crowd is less unruly and peace prevailed ,and most of the boys assisting to put Durga in the waters for money were smelling of booze getting into fights with the peaceful Bengalis.
Having shot this auspicious moment since 8 yeas I am sure I know what I am talking about, I did not take pictures of the litter on the beach because I came to shoot Durga Visarjan and that ws my personal brief.. but it could be better organized by the civic authorities and more evenly lit up.. with makeshift tents ... with civic staff helping the processionists and more mobile toilets on the immersion end of the beach.
