Maharashtra Govt To Hold Stakeholder Meet On PM Modis Appeal For Eco-Friendly Clay Ganesh Idols
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis will hold a stakeholder meeting on July 31 to consider PM Modi's appeal for eco-friendly clay Ganesh idols.
The Bombay High Court asked for a comprehensive compilation before deciding on the issue of PoP idol pollution.
PoP idol manufacturers challenged CPCB's 2020 revised guidelines, arguing they lack statutory backing and that sadu clay also causes pollution.
The court insisted the case is limited to pollution from PoP idols, not the Ganesh festival celebration itself.
The court urged PoP manufacturers to provide solutions, such as using natural, non-toxic colors instead of artificial paints.
