Date: 11-Aug-2026

DIRECTIONS UNDER SECTION 5 OF THE ENVIRONMENT (PROTECTION) ACT, 1986

(CENTRAL ACT 29 OF 1986)

Whereas, it has been brought to the notice of the Government of Goa, that several Plaster of Paris

(PoP) idols are being imported from neighboring States for sale in Goa during the annual Ganesh Chaturthi

festival.

980

SERIES II No. 21

20TH AUGUST, 2026

Whereas, such PoP idols are put up for display and sale in various permanent establishments and other

temporary establishments/“Chitrashallas” across the State during the annual Ganesh Chaturthi festival.

Whereas, such PoP idols are made from hemi hydrated calcium sulphate manufactured by calcination

process and such PoP idols when immersed in water do not dissolve or disintegrate fast, thereby causing

irreversible environmental effects on the riverine/coastal ecology or the eco-system of any water body,

which in turn causes adverse environmental effects.

Whereas, the chemical paints, colours and dyes applied for such PoP idols contain poisonous

chemicals/elements like Mercury, Zinc Oxide, Chromium, Lead, Cadmium etc. which causes harmful

effects to marine/aquatic life, which when consumed by humans, leads to the cause of formation of cancer

and other diseases including respiratory ailments, skin infections etc. The PoP also contains

chemicals/elements like Gypsum, Sulphur, Potassium and Magnesium which cause harmful effects to

aquatic and marine life (flora & fauna) and in turn causes harmful health effects, if such aquatic/marine life

is consumed by human beings;

Whereas, Government of Goa, taking into consideration the public health and the likely effects on the

environment of the State of Goa, is of the view that such PoP idols should not be sold or used in any part in

the State of Goa.

Whereas, it is expedient and in public interest, that Government of Goa issues such directions to ban

the manufacture, import and sale of such PoP idols in the State of Goa.

Whereas, the Goa State Pollution Control Board (GSPCB) vide their letter No. 2026/GSPCB/

/Letter/Tech/26031 dated 27/02/2026 has after carrying out analysis concluded that Chikan

mati/Clay/Shadu mati idols having POP content up to 20% can be permitted and idols should be painted

using eco-friendly water based, biodegradable and non-toxic natural dyes for paints.

And whereas, it would be appropriate to issue such directions to various Departments, District Level

Authorities and Local Authorities, to take such measures as listed, to ensure that manufacture, import and

sale of PoP idols in the State is stopped forthwith;

Now therefore, by virtue of the powers conferred under Section 5 of the Environment (Protection) Act,

1986; vide Notification No. S. O. 881 (E) dated 22/09/1988, by the Ministry of Environment, Forests &
