The eastern zonal bench of the tribunal, comprising Justice S.P. Wangdi and expert member P.C. Mishra, delivered the order in response to a petition filed by a Calcuttan, Amber Sengupta. The petitioner alleged that the Ganga pollution worsened considerably every year after immersion The bench noted that synthetic colours used to paint idols contained toxic heavy metals such as lead and chromium. The metals remain in the water even after it is treated for drinking Plaster of Paris, extensively used in making clay idols, damages the aquatic ecosystem, especially the fauna. Since 2007, there has been a movement to reduce the use of toxic heavy metals in painting idols. But they are still widely used. The concentration of lead in the Ganga water is increasing by the year, alleged environmentalists. The lawyer representing the Bengal Government before the tribunal said the bench had given three months to all eastern and north-eastern states to formulate a set of guidelines to curb pollution during immersion. While preparing the list, the states should consider the guidelines of the Central Pollution Control Board. Debasish Kumar, the mayor council member in charge of immersion at the Calcutta Municipal Corporation, welcomed the order, especially the bar on synthetic colours. This year, in at least 11 ghats, there were no arrangements to implement the High Court order to lift the idols from the water immediately after immersion. Ghats in north Calcutta such as Mayer Ghat, Sarbamangala Ghat and Bagbazar Ghat resembled floating garbage dumps.
