The Hindu
The Telangana High Court had banned the immersion of Ganesh idols made of plaster of Paris in the lake and similar locations in Hyderabad.
The Supreme Court on Thursday granted a ‘last chance’ to Telangana authorities to permit immersion of Lord ‘Ganesh idols’ made of plaster of Paris in Hussain Sagar Lake in Hyderabad.
A bench headed by Chief Justice N.V. Ramana noted that this is a recurrent problem in Hyderabad city. Despite giving several directions, the State government has not complied with the orders of the Telangana High Court prohibiting the immersion of idols to curb pollution there.
The apex court passed the order after taking note of the submission by the Solicitor General Tushar Mehta that steps have been taken to minimise pollution in the lake, and that idols are lifted by cranes soon after the immersion and transferred to solid waste disposal sites for disposal.
