Dahi Handi accident in Mumbai

This year also many accidents occurred in Mumbai during Dahi Handi festival. Some in a group of ‘govindas’ were injured in their attempt to break the record of a nine-tier pyramid, according to the disaster management control room of the local municipality. The young men who take part in this hugely popular and colourful spectacle called Dahi Handi in Mumbai and other parts of Maharashtra are known as ‘govindas’. The cash incentives for success are attractive and bring much enthusiasm to the occasion.
