Malkajgiri civic body to collect sacred waste on August 8
The Story in Brief
The Story in Brief
Malkajgiri Municipal Corporation (MMC) will hold a sacred waste collection drive, Project Udvasana, on August 8 across temples in Malkajgiri, Uppal, and LB Nagar zones, telanganatoday.com reports. Citizens can deposit old idols and pictures at designated temples. Volunteers can register via MMC’s social media accounts.
MMC Commissioner T Vinay Krishna Reddy said collection centres include Vinayak Nagar, Sri Saibaba Temple near Bharat Petrol Bunk, Sri Subrahmanya Swamy Temple in West Marredpally, and others. The drive aims to prevent sacred waste from being discarded irresponsibly.
The Indian Opinion
Project Udvasana is a practical step, but the real test is whether the collected idols and pictures are actually recycled or just dumped. Many cities announce such drives, yet sacred waste often ends up in rivers or landfills. Citizens should watch for the disposal report MMC must publish. What happens to the thousands of clay Ganeshas after Ganesh Chaturthi will tell us if this is a sincere effort or a photo-op.
