Taking a strict view of the increasing pollution in major rivers, the Allahabad High Court has refused permission for immersion of idols in the Ganga and the Yamuna.

In a decision of far reaching significance, a division bench comprising Justice Arun Tandon and Justice Ashok Bhushan yesterday denied permission to the Allahabad administration to allow immersion of idols in the rivers.
