Mumbai Police issued a prohibitory order from October 20 to 22 banning the shooting and circulation of photos or videos of floating or half-submerged Durga idols during immersion. The order, under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, aims to prevent hurting religious sentiments and maintain public peace. It addresses concerns over images that could outrage religious feelings when idols drift ashore or float before re-immersion by BMC workers.
