No green or red dots will be placed behind Ganesh idols for now. The BMC had initially decided to use green dots on eco-friendly idols and red dots on PoP idols, a move vehemently opposed by the BJP. Guardian Minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha also wrote to the civic chief, demanding the immediate suspension of this decision. However, the BMC now claims they have already reversed their decision.
The original idea was to distinguish between environmentally friendly and regular idols by adding these dots to the back of the idols.
