Joint panel to clean river after immersions
As the city gears up for the festive season, the high court has fixed responsibility for tackling the pollution caused by the immersion of Durga, Lakshmi and Kali idols in the Hooghly. On Friday, Calcutta High Court directed the Calcutta Municipal Corporation (CMC), Calcutta Port Trust (CPT) and Calcutta police to constitute a committee to devise a way to remove garbage from the Hooghly within seven days of the immersion.
