The article discusses the environmental impact of using Plaster of Paris (PoP) idols versus clay idols during Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations in Mumbai. Despite the eco-friendly nature of clay idols, PoP idols remain popular due to their lower cost, availability, and intricate designs. The article highlights the harmful effects of PoP idols on marine life and water bodies, exacerbated by toxic paints used in idol decoration. While awareness is growing, especially for home celebrations, the demand for PoP idols persists, driven by economic and aesthetic factors.

| Public Health
Mumbai's beaches, including stretches up to Alibag and Palghar, have been affected by tar pollution, with black or dark brown sticky liquid tar deposits washing ashore. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has been cleaning the tar, but the source remains untraced. Tarballs, harmful to marine life and potentially entering the human food chain, are a recurring issue during monsoons. Environmentalists and NGOs call for more significant action and investigation into the pollution's sources, as the impact on marine life, local residents, and fishermen is profound.

Civic body mulls banning display of half-clad mannequins in lingerie shops in an attempt to cut sexual assaults

English
| Moral Policing
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) in Mumbai, India, is considering a proposal to ban the display of bikini-clad mannequins in lingerie shops to prevent sex offences. The proposal, initiated by BJP councillor Ritu Tawade, is based on the belief that such displays contribute to sexual assaults. The move has sparked debate, with some supporting the idea for preserving public morality, while others, including advertising experts and shoppers, argue that it does not address the root causes of sexual harassment and could be seen as moral policing. The proposal is awaiting approval from the BMC's chief executive, Sitaram Kunte. Meanwhile, critics question why only shops should be targeted when similar images are prevalent in advertisements and fashion shows.

India's COVID-19 vaccination drive, which began on 16 January, has faced delays due to glitches in the CoWIN app, a critical tool for managing the vaccination process. The app, developed by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, has experienced issues such as the inability to send SMS notifications and slow data loading, causing disruptions in states like Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh. Despite these problems, the government has made some improvements, and the vaccination drive continues. Additionally, fake CoWIN apps have emerged, posing security risks. Experts emphasize the need for caution and transparency in the app's development.
