Delhi Sets Up 110 Collection Centres and 81 Artificial Ponds for Idol Disposal and Immersion
The Delhi government, led by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, has established 110 collection centres for the dignified disposal of old and damaged religious idols and puja materials, alongside 81 artificial ponds across the city for eco-friendly Ganesh idol immersion. These measures aim to protect public spaces and water bodies, including the Yamuna, where immersion is prohibited except at designated sites. The initiative encourages devotees to use these facilities and opt for eco-friendly idols, supporting environmental cleanliness during religious festivals.
