BL Soni
The ministry of environment and Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) on Tuesday for the second time, has deferred the ban on Plaster of Paris (PoP) used for making Lord Ganesh idols.
Earlier in May 2020, the CPCB had announced a ban on the usage of PoPs for the making of Ganesh idols. However, owing to the pandemic outbreak and immense loss faced by the sculptors, Prakash Javadekar, minister of environment had deferred the ban till December 31.
Ahead of the Maghi Ganapati (Ganesh Jayanti) celebrations to be held on February 15, Ganesh Mandals of the city had approached the union ministry to defer the ban for the second time, stating the Centre must take the artisans and sculptors in confidence before announcing the ban.
