Speaking on the occasion, School Director Chermala Venkateshwarlu said that the use of Plaster of Paris (PoP) idols was causing environmental pollution and affecting the water bodies and its flora and fauna. “We need to keep the spirit of the festival intact, but not harm the eco-system by using idols made of PoP,” he said and appealed to the people to worship on clay idols.
