Ludhiana, January 15

The Municipal Corporation Commissioner, Pardeep Kumar Sabharwal, has made an appeal to the people to not use single-use plastic and disposable thermocol items. He said the Municipal Corporation has opened a utensil store at the Zone D office where steel utensils are available for ‘Bhandara’ and other events so that the people don’t use harmful disposable items.

Various teams of the Municipal Corporation have urged the people to not use these disposable items during the religious and other events. Dr Puran Singh, State Project Director, Swachh Bharat Mission, said by eating and drinking in disposable items, hazardous micro-plastic particles and other chemicals enter the body, causing fatal diseases such as cancer. These items spread waste too.
