Vishwas Mote, assistant commissioner, F-south ward, said the mandal was fined Rs 4.86 lakh for damaging the road while erecting pandal and creating dividers for managing beeline queues of devotees.
Although civic officials have initiated the process of assessing road damage in all the 24 wards by Ganesh mandals, it will take at least a week for them to complete the inspection. The BMC charged Rs2, 000 for every pothole.
