Efforts are being made tirelessly for the last 4 months to make the district plastic-free and to reshape it as a green district. The cooperation of citizens including school and college students is required. Plastic has not been banned by any of the central government's plans. Our government is committed to exterminate the monster of plastic, which poses a threat to the environment and wildlife. People's cooperation is very important for this and it is necessary to separate the green and dry waste at the source. If awareness is raised about this everywhere, not only in urban and rural areas, our resolve will be fulfilled, he said.
Soon we are doing an awareness campaign about garbage dumping places in 6 taluks of the district. It is an alarming development that 79 percent of the garbage collected daily is plastic waste. No project can be realized unless the people join hands. He appealed to everyone to come together to make a plastic free district for the future of our children.
