The court has prohibited the use of environmentally harmful Plaster of Paris (POP) for making idols, delaying the production of Ganpati idols. In response, the Municipal Corporation has directed sculptors to use shadu clay, paper, and other eco-friendly alternatives. To safeguard the environment, the Central Pollution Control Board issued guidelines for idol makers in 2020. However, previous orders were released shortly before Ganeshotsav in the past four years, causing delays. Consequently, the Municipal Corporation convened a meeting with 25 to 30 local sculptors at the start of the new year to communicate this decision.Deputy Commissioner of the Environment Department, Sanjay Shinde, noted that the Corporation also addressed the sculptors' concerns and promised to assist them.Also Read: Workplace Violence in Pune: Man Kills Female Colleague with Chopper Over Financial Dispute at WNS Global ServicesThe guidelines stipulate that idols must be made from biodegradable materials like shadu clay.

Eco-friendly, biodegradable, and non-toxic natural colors are required for painting, with a strict ban on toxic chemical paints, oil paints, enamel, and artificial color-based paints
