On September 18, 2026, Thane Municipal Corporation's Additional Municipal Commissioner, Major Dr. Nitin Rathod, inspected crucial immersion ghats in Thane to prepare for Gauri-Ganpati and Anant Chaturdashi celebrations.

Citizens were urged to adopt eco-conscious practices during the festival.

Ward committee officials, executive engineers, and senior officers were present during the inspection. TMC assured the public of its readiness and appealed for a safe, disciplined, and environmentally friendly celebration.
