Notice issued for ban on plastic.

Continuing their effort to beautify the roads of Chintamani, the municipality has sent notices to all the shops to get rid of their stocks of plastic covers or bags, plastic cups and plates etc, with in 30.09.2010, and the people who  fail to do so will have to face penalties. The municipality has issued this order keeping in view the littering on streets and the plastic contributing to this mess to a large extent. They have also mentioned the harm caused to the environment due to the mindless way of its usage. This cleanliness drive taken by the governing body of Chintamani is laudable. They should also take steps to bring about awareness on the same issue among the general public.
