Mumbai, Aug 12 : With the much-anticipated Ganesh festival approaching, Adani Electricity on Tuesday said it is collaborating with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) Disaster Management Department to conduct essential electrical safety training for Ganesh Mandal volunteers across Mumbai.

The joint effort aims to significantly improve emergency preparedness and reduce potential electrical hazards during the upcoming festivities.

"We are deeply committed to fostering a culture of safety and are very pleased to work with the BMC Disaster Management Department on this vital initiative," said a representative from Adani Electricity. 'Our goal is to empower Ganesh Mandal volunteers with the necessary knowledge and best practices for managing electrical setups securely, ensuring a joyous and incident-free festival for all devotees.'
