Salman Khan urges fans to bring eco-friendly Ganesh idols at home

Salman Khan at an event on Wednesday urged people and his fans to celebrate the Ganesh Chaturthi festival in an eco-friendly manner as the sight of scattered parts of idols in the sea is not nice. Salman joined hands with the Divjay Foundation along with the Municipal Corporation of Mumbai, Mumbai Police and Chattra Sansad for the initiative "Bacche Bole Morya" to advocate the need for cleanliness and eco-friendly Ganesh Chaturthi festival this season. "Eco-friendly Ganesha has been coming to our house for a very long time. Until there is a purity in the festival, you can't celebrate (the festival), the Tiger Zinda Hai actor



said.

''After the visarjan, some idols' head, trunk, leg are scattered everywhere and some people step on other scattered idols of Lord Ganesha. It's not nice. Basically, I want to say I won't throw garbage and won't let others throw garbage," Salman added.

The event was also attended by Salman's sister Alvira Agnihotri, Amruta Fadnavis, Sonali Bendre, Sonu Nigam, Kailash Kher, Police Commissioner Vivek Phalsankar and BMC commissioner Bhushan Gagrani. During the cultural and musical program, eco-friendly Ganesha idols, created from natural and biodegradable materials, crafted by BMC School students across Mumbai, were unveiled.
