Anantapur Collector Promotes Eco-Friendly Ganesh Chaturthi

Anantapur Collector Promotes Eco-Friendly Ganesh Chaturthi

The District Collector in Anantapur wants people to use clay idols for the Ganesh Chaturthi festival.

This is because the usual idols, made of POP, pollute the water.

Clay idols, along with natural colors, cotton, and jute, are better for the environment.

The government is following rules from the Supreme Court and NGT to make sure the festival is celebrated in a way that doesn't harm the environment.

The Collector asked everyone to work together and keep the festival sacred while also protecting the environment.
