Mumbai Mandals Await HC Ruling on PoP Idol Immersion

Some religious groups in Mumbai are waiting for a court decision about what to do with their Ganesh idols.

These idols are made of a material called PoP, and there is a ban on immersing them in the sea.

The groups want to put their idols in the sea, but the government has built special tanks instead.

A court case has been going on, and the groups are hoping they can follow their traditions if the court says it's okay.

They don't like using the tanks because they think they are too small and that it hurts their feelings to see the idols treated roughly afterward.

The groups may reuse the idols if they are not allowed to immerse them in the sea.

The verdict is expected soon, which will decide how the idols will be treated.
