Talking to The Pioneer, he said that they had taken permission from the District Magistrate for visarjan in the Gomti river this year. “We will also not stop those who want to carry out visarjan in the artificial ponds which have been created,” he said. He said that the samitis which consist of more than 25-30 members would also monitor that only the idols go into the river and not the puja materials. “We will ensure that the wood and the back por- tion of the idol made of Shola wood are removed before the immersion. We will not allow the immersion until these con- ditions are fulfilled,” he added.
