Representation submitted to Mayor at Murgud (Dist. Kolhapur)

Municipal administration should not prevent devotees from immersing Shri Ganesh idols as per ‘Shaastra’ during Ganesh festival ! 

Murgud (Dist. Kolhapur) : Accusation of river and lake water getting polluted due to immersion of Shri Ganesh idols during Ganeshotsav is totally wrong. River gets polluted due to sewage water released by factories; therefore, instead of falling prey to appeals made by so-called environmentalists and progressive factions, local administration should not prevent devotees from immersing their idols in flowing water, as per ‘shaastra’ and tradition and should not do anything that would hurt religious sentiments of Hindus, was the demand made through representation submitted to Mayor Raja Khan Jamdar on 26th August by ‘Hindutvavadis’ under leadership of Shri. Sambhaji Bhokare, Dy. District-Chief of Shiv Sena.
