Eco-friendly Ganesha immersion
DH News Service, Bangalore:
Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagar Palike and Karnataka State Pollution Control Board have special arrangements for environment-friendly disposal of Ganesha idols.


 The Palike has made special preparations to immerse idols in the premises of Halasur lake, Sankey tank and Yediyur lake. In addition it has made arrangements for mobile tanks to immerse idols.

KSPCB has also arranged 11 mobile Ganesha immersion tanks in the city, on Wednesday, on the occasion of Ganesha festival. Board chairman Dr H C Sharatchandra said last year residents in Malleswaram and Yeshwanthpura responded very well to the board’s initiative to have mobile immersion tanks. “If painted idols are immersed in tanks lead content in colour will mix up with water and cause serious health problems. If the public avail the services of mobile tanks to immerse their idols the pollution can be curtailed to a greater extent,” he said.
