A day after the Telangana High Court passed an order that there should be no immersion of gypsum (Plaster of Paris) Ganesh idols in the Hussainsagar lake, the main organiser of the event in the city put the onus on the state government for smooth conduct of the event.
“The State Government has to take care that the event passes off smoothly. The High Court ruling is just a reiteration of the older guidelines of following Pollution Control Board guidelines. We will follow them,” said Dr. Bhagwant Rao, General Secretary of the Bhagyanagar Ganesh Utsav Samithi.
The HC ruling dictated that there should be no immersion of PoP idols in the Hussainsagar Lake or other water bodies and they should be immersed only in baby ponds.
