The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has decided to hold a meeting with sculptors on Thursday, April 24, to remind them that from this year, only eco-friendly Ganesh idols can be created for Ganesh Chaturthi.

A civic official said, “During the meeting, we will tell sculptors about the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) order banning Plaster of Paris (PoP) idols. We have also decided to provide Shadu clay to artisans. We are just following the orders of the courts and CPCB.”
