Hey there, folks! Big news coming out of Mumbai and Pune – the Bombay High Court has put its foot down and ordered the Maharashtra State Government to crack down on PoP Ganesh idols this year. Yep, you heard that right!
For the past three years, the government and municipal corporations have been slacking off when it comes to enforcing the ban on PoP idols during Ganesh festival. But not anymore, thanks to the court’s intervention.
Ganesh Utsav is a big deal in Pune, just like it is all over the country. But the use of PoP idols has been a major concern for the environment. That’s why the court’s decision is expected to shake things up a bit this year.
The court’s ruling came in response to a PIL filed by environmental groups and eco-friendly idol makers who are tired of the government’s lackluster enforcement of the rules. They’re saying enough is enough!
During the hearing, Thane-based idol makers raised concerns about the financial losses they might face due to the ban. But the court wasn’t having it. They may not have gone for a total ban on PoP idols, but they’ve made it clear that public mandals won’t be getting any permissions for PoP idols this year.
So, if you’re planning on celebrating Ganesh festival this year, better start looking for eco-friendly alternatives to those PoP idols. Let’s keep our celebrations green, folks! Stay tuned for more updates on this issue.
