PLASTIC BAN IN GOVT OFFICES
In a renewed effort to curb plastic pollution and promote sustainable practices, the state government has reiterated complete ban on single-use plastic items across all state government offices, autonomous bodies and Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs).
In a directive sent to all additional chief secretaries, principal secretaries, and commissioner-cum-secretaries, the state government has urged strict and immediate compliance with the ban, which has been in place since October 2, 2019. This move also aligns with the Central government's broader ban on single-use plastics implemented July 1, 2022.
While the move has been widely welcomed by environmental groups, several activists have expressed concern over past failures in enforcement.
