Borivali (East) : Representation was handed over to municipal councilor, Sou. Riddhi Khursunge of Shiv Sena explaining reasons for immersion of Shri Ganesh idols in flowing water and not in artificial water tank. VCD was also shown on the subject.
‘Information given on above is essential. Shri Ganesh idols should be immersed in flowing water; but artificial water tanks have to be provided due to certain problems faced by Municipality. It is always good if natural source is available for immersion. We are trying to see the possibility of making available idols made of clay instead of plaster of paris (PoP).’
