A tank bund was constructed with mud by the then rulers of Hyderabad for drinking water purposes. With the immersion of idols and due to other reasons, the bund has weakened and might collapse anytime. I brought this matter to the notice of the court. The court has taken note of it and banned the immersion of idols in the tank bund," said the lawyer.The court has given permission for the immersion of eco-friendly idols near the necklace road, PV Ghat, NTR Ghat by constructing rubber dams.Further, the high court has also ordered to reduce the height of the idols and follow pollution control board guidelines.
