60,000+ Ganesh idols immersed in Mumbai after 36 hours of festival
More than 60,000 Lord Ganesh idols, including nearly 29,700 Plaster of Paris (PoP) ones, were immersed in Maharashtra's Mumbai after one-and-a-half days of the Ganesh Chaturthi festival, officials said. To curb water pollution, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has urged people to immerse eco-friendly Ganpati idols in drums or buckets. The festival began on August 27.
