Bombay: The Bombay High Court has issued an interim order strictly prohibiting the manufacture, sale, and immersion of idols made of Plaster of Paris (PoP). The court emphasized the importance of following the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) guidelines to protect the environment.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday (Dec 18) emphasized that establishing Gram Nyayalayas cannot follow a nationwide formula due to varying state needs.
