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.

They have an agenda- a welcome change.

 The pedestrians will not have to walk in between the moving vehicles on the double road . They can freely walk on the footpath and allow the the traffic to move freely as well. "Oh, ooh, not in Chintamani!". That could be your immediate response. Wait and watch. Where there is a will(power-of police) there is a way. Few more obstacles have to be cleared, for that  the shop owners on the double road will have to cooperate with the authorities. It's not impossible though- with this gritty  approach. CC had written about the Double road initiative by RAGE, which now seems is not a distant dream. The Chintamani police have taken a drive to relocate the street hawkers on the Double Road to the market area near-by. Their agenda is to clear the footpath for the pedestrians. Super Police! Up your arms, more to do.
