Civic officials of F-South ward are looking for the 'Raja of environment' this Ganeshotsav. For the first time in the city, they have announced a competition for families who install eco-friendly Ganesh idols in homes (gharguti Ganpati), and celebrate the festival with an eye on the environment.

Some of the criteria
The criteria for the competition called 'Ganpati Mazha Paryavarancha Raja' (My Ganpati, the king of the environment), includes using eco-friendly homemade decorations that don't have even a tiny bit of plastic or thermocol. Participants will also be evaluated on the social message they pick, and there are extra points for those who immerse idols in artificial ponds.
