e view “There shall be a complete ban on the use of POP in idol making. Such divide and Rule Policy is highly unjustified .
Notwithstanding, author failed to implement the order EVEN after contempt application; appealed to State Legal Service Authority , National Legal Service Authority and ultimately prayer FORWARDED to Hon’ble Chief Justice of India to get Denied Justice.
Most interestingly WBPCB declared in 2020 before Puja,” It will try out new immersion model this year to stem river pollution” and choose two big lakes and fenced a portion of the lakes and spent huge tax payer’s money in fencing/using very big plastic sheets/ cranes/ firefighting engines to pollute the water bodies to “Pave the way for a complete halt of idol immersion”.The attached video picture will speak volumes. Nevertheless, Chairman, WBPCB boldly said, "If the model is successful we will implement it throughout the state for all idol immersions.
Reportedly,the move was to comply order of NMCG which prohibited immersion in the Ganga and its tributaries in 2018.But why NGT’s order of 2017, NMCG's order in2018 were not implemented even in 2019 or 2020? they suddenly awake from deep slumber of4 years and are now trying a MODEL which was challenged by the author in the tribunal regarding its efficacy of water purification after immersion and rel tal right of Article-21 to life is throttled. Regrettably. even after the threat of climate change, the warning of water famine and water war etc. are breathing on our neck, above all the intimidation of Covid-19, we are reticent!
I like to draw attention to the recent remark of justice Nariman and Justice Gravel who vehemently oppose Kanwar Yatra on the compelling religious reason and emphasised, '' It goes to the very heart of Article 21 of the constitution as the health of the citizenry and their right to live are paramount, albeit religious, are subservient to this fundamental rights.''
I do hope at long last the highest echelon of jurisprudence, CJI would interfere on this issue of draconian orthodoxy habit of idol immersion and attempted to rereove dissolved carsonegenic pollutant with crane process and kindly pass the before Ganesh Chaturthi on 10th. september when our festival season commences and order to implement BS as certified ideal by Nation Green Tribunal, throughout India. and IMPOSE heavy PENALTY to be utilise for arresting desertification by planting trees Most importantly ,also order the Lawmaker CPCB to rectify the Guideline prepared by "Scientists" in 2010 with fan-fare.
