  "account": "Mumbai commuters are urged to take note of traffic diversions and restrictions as the city prepares for the arrival of several prominent Ganesh idols. The pre-Ganeshotsav Saturday is set to see nearly 30-40 idols making their way through various neighborhoods. The processions are expected to cause significant traffic congestion, prompting the Mumbai Police to beef up security with around 800-1,000 personnel, including teams from the Rapid Action Force and Central Reserve Police Force. Authorities have announced diversions and restrictions along key routes to ensure smooth movement of the idols and crowd management. Parking is completely prohibited on both sides of the procession routes, and one lane will remain clear at all times for emergency vehicles. Motorists traveling through affected areas should plan their journeys accordingly and follow the instructions of traffic police personnel.",
