The empowered panel accompanied by senior officials, including environmental engineers, raided two places&#8211;one next to Kalamandir and other near Vishwa Manav Double road in Kuvempu Nagar. They seized 20 unbiodegradable statues. The corporation has set a two-day deadline for the artisans to remove the statues that are made of chemicals, including gypsum plaster, commonly called as plaster of paris. &#8220;The civic body on July 2 issued a directive asking the statue makers to make only eco-friendly statues ahead of the festival season. When they didn&#8217;t relent, we intervened,&#8221; public health, education and social justice standing committee chief Kempanna said. &#8220;We have seized 20 out of 1,000 statues. They have been asked to remove them from the city in two days,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source MYSORE, INDIA, July 12, 2012 (Times of India): The Mysore City Corporation, on a mission to save water bodies,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11177","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11177","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11177"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11177\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11177"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
