Imphal, January 22 2023:
In a step to make Top Naoriya Gram Panchayat free from plastic, Village Level Federations (VLF) and local clubs under the Gram Panchayat have jointly launched "Plastic Free Zone" campaign on Sunday.
Under the aegis of 10 Top Naoriya Zilla Parishad and Top Naoriya GP, a public rally was also taken out in and around areas under the jurisdiction of Gram Panchayat to spread awareness on harmful effects of plastic pollution, as part of the launch programme.
Speaking to the media on the side-lines of the event, Imphal East district former Up-Adhyaksha Kshetri Tama appealed to the public to extend their support to the endeavour for making the Gram Panchayat free from plastics considering the harm plastic pollution will have both on mankind and nature.
Volunteers of VLF and local clubs will collect the plastic waste from the GP and hand over the same to authorities concerned for recycling, Tama added.
