Nashik Village Bans Ganesh Idol Immersion in Waldevi Dam

Nashik Village Bans Ganesh Idol Immersion in Waldevi Dam

Every year, the Ganesh festival is celebrated with joy, but it also involves immersing idols in water.

In Nashik, villagers have decided to stop this in Waldevi Dam for the fourth year in a row.

They're worried because people have drowned in the dam during celebrations.

Also, the idols pollute the water, which the villagers use for drinking and farming.

The village of Pimplad, along with the local police, is asking people not to come to the dam for idol immersion this year.
