Thermocol not allowed for Ganpati decorations: Bombay HC
Bombay High Court on Friday declared that thermocol, or polystyrene foam, can no longer be used for decorations during Ganesh Chaturthi. The court was responding to a petition filed by Thermocol Fabricator and Decoration Association, which stated that a thermocol ban would affect over 40,000 jobs. Earlier, the Maharashtra government had declared a statewide ban on plastic and thermocol items.
