Following the Supreme Court’s directions of last year against the Plaster of Paris (PoP) idol immersion in the Hussainsagar Lake, GHMC has begun its campaign advocating eco-friendly Ganesh idols two months ahead of the Ganesh Navaratri festivities.
As part of the campaign, idols made of clay will be installed at several places across the city, including the zonal headquarters, a statement from the GHMC informed.
One idol will be placed near the zonal headquarters, in addition to two idols at prominent locations in each circle, it said. The idols will be in varying sizes, starting from eight inches to eight feet.
