Minister of the Environment Haryany Rao Narbir Singh said on Friday that the gurigram will be under a pilot project without polyethylene in 3 months. The meeting was attended by officials of the municipal corporations of Manesar and Gurogram, Haryan State polluting the council, city local authorities, district administration, police department and industry sectors.
What is the pilot project about?
The aim of the pilot project is to completely eliminate plastic with one use from the city, where the use of polyethylene bags, plastic cups, boards, spoons, straws, etc. will be forbidden.
Singh ordered officials that the campaign must not only be symbolic, but should have effective implementation on Earth and a long -term impact. While he mentioned that the production and sale of Polythen has been completely prohibited since 2013, he said that the authorities concerned must identify warehouses and manufacturing units involved in unlawful sale or production of these items and take strict steps against them.
He stressed that all available sources must be used with a priority to order a district without plastic polyethylene and one use so that special awareness programs should be organized in schools, universities, markets, residential colonies and industrial areas.
Singh also urged the active involvement of NGOs, Youth Associations and Residents (RWAS) and these fabric bags, biodegradable packaging materials and other environmental alternatives should be supported. He added that while the gurogram is recognized as an intelligent and progressive city, it is now time to set it up as a model city in terms of environmental sustainability.
“I call on all members of this house to join and deal with the air pollution with the unity. We will not overlap politics into this matter. According to experts, if polyethylene is buried in the country, it lasts for about 400 years.
