KS Ravi Kumar chairman of JPNCE flagged off the environment protection rally and said that people should avoid using Ganesh idols made of Plaster of Paris in this Ganesh festival and advocated use of clay Ganapathis.
“During this festival season, there are thousands of people using Ganesh idols made of Plaster of Paris. When it is dissolved in the water pollutes the water and causes environmental hazards and disturbs the aquatic life and there by creates imbalances in the environment.
