Ganesh Utsav Samiti threatens to immerse idols in Hussainsagar

Bhagyanagar Ganesh Utsav Samiti has given a call to all the Ganesh pandal organisers in the city to line up the idols for immersion in Hussainsagar on the final day, in obvious contravention of the Telangana High Court’s orders and subsequent Supreme Court orders last year, prohibiting immersion of idols made of Plaster of Paris in any lake including Hussainsagar.

The High Court reiterated its earlier judgement recently too, asking the government to issue orders about alternative arrangements for idols made of PoP.

General Secretary of the Samiti, Bhagavanth Rao, during a press conference on Monday, said the judgment for the contempt case from 2013 was a fallout of the government’s lack of response to the court about the measures taken with regard to an earlier order.
