A statue of Kalakeya of Baahubali fame made with plastic was installed at the entrance of Gattamma Temple in Mulugu. Kalakeya was the villain in Baahubali movie and he is more popular than the hero.
District collector Narayan Reddy said that the idol of plastic was installed to drive home the point that plastic is like a devil and it has to killed and destroyed at any cost.
People who come for Myadaram Jatara with the plastic must leave the plastic at the Kaalkeya statue and then move forward to attend the Jatara he said.
The plastic usage will not be allowed for the Myadaram Jatara the Kumbh Mela of Telangana. Meanwhile, all-out arrangements are being made for the Jatara here in Telangana.
People must use bags made of paper, cloth and Jute the collector suggested. Plastic must be eradicated in a phased manner and the earth should be protected from the pollution he suggested.
