Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray has criticised Mumbai Police Commissioner Satyapal Singh's statement -- that Ganesh mandals should protect women devotees who come to seek blessings.        

"If Ganesh mandals have to protect the women devotees, then why is there a need for the police," Uddhav was quoted as saying in a statement.        

Satyapal Singh had said that "It is the responsibility of the pandal organisers to ensure that female devotees, who would flock to take blessings of the Ganesha, should not be eve-teased or molested. If any incident like this occurs, it would go against pandal organisers".
