Mann Ki Baat: PM Modi urges use of clay idols this Ganesh Chaturthi, Durga Puja

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday urged those celebrating Ganesh and Durga Puja in the coming months to think about the environment and ensure they celebrate the festival in an eco-friendly manner.
Prime Minister Modi was speaking during his Mann Ki Baat programme – a monthly radio address where he raises issues of national importance.
“Why should we not go back to our tradition of using clay for making idols? Eco-friendly Ganesh Festival is another form of social service,” Modi said, advising people not to use idols made out of plaster of paris as they are harmful to the environment.
