PIL petition on Vinayaka Chaturthi
Petitioner wants to avoid clashes
A public interest litigation petition has been filed in the Madras High Court seeking a direction to the State government and the police to restrict the number of idols permitted to be installed in public places during Vinayaka Chaturthi celebrations and reduce the number of days for which the idols could be kept on display.
When the matter came up before a Division Bench of Justices M. Sathyanaryanan and M. Sundar on Monday, they ordered notices to government officials and directed the High Court Registry to tag the case along with another PIL petition filed last week by activist ‘Traffic’ K.R. Ramaswamy with a plea to confine the celebrations to temples and marriage halls.
The latest petition filed by advocate M. Subash alleged too many organisations and individuals were allowed to install idols on roadsides and other public places and that most of them used plaster of Paris and other toxic chemicals to make the idols.
