Everyone knows that pollution is a part and parcel of Ganeshotsav Traditionally, we used mud idols and natural colours. These polluting idols are a modern invention and nothing to do with religion! No one is banning immersion or denouncing it. To put in place laws to make it compulsory to make idols out of an eco-friendly material should not hurt religious sentiment because the minute anything is “religious” people bear it in silence. People are afraid that if they protest others could well question their faith in God. The worst kind is light and sound /noise pollution which some mandals blatantly abuse in a useless attempt at self promotion. The worst sufferers are those living en route, including patients, Small children, Infants, Senior Citizens and speechless animals...
