The Lalbaugcha Raja mandal, one of the richest Ganeshotsav mandals in the city, is in trouble. The charity commissioner has set up an inquiry into its organisation of the festival. After reports of a tiff between a cop and a volunteer (reported by mid-day, 'Top cop gets into scuffle with Lalbaugcha Raja volunteer,' on September 19), the charity commissioner took suo motu cognisance, and on Wednesday, inspected the pandal himself.

The inquiry set up by the commissioner will focus on crowd management, untoward incidents, and whether overcrowding was caused by mandal volunteers. However, whether daily functioning of the committee will be looked into, is yet to be decided, said officials from the CC's office.
