HYDERABAD, INDIA, July 30, 2017 (New Indian Express): With the festivities revolving around Ganesha festival set to begin, Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) has drawn plans to supply eco-friendly clay Ganesha statues in order to protect lakes and water bodies in and around Hyderabad including Hussainsagar. Instead of statues made of plaster of Paris sprayed with synthetic colors, HMDA wants devotees to use statues made of clay. The authority has decided to procure as many as 10,000 statues from artisans and agencies who have experience in making eco-friendly statues of minimum size of eight inches. HMDA officials said they have invited expression of interest from eligible artisans and agencies who have proven experience in manufacturing statues in large numbers and willing to supply on or before August 18.
