Imphal, October 31 2019:
At a time when there is increasing concern on ill effects of plastics and environmental pollution, Khwairamband Keithel in the heart of State Capital Imphal has turned into a dump site with what are remains of people celebrating Diwali and Ningol Chakkouba.
With rampant disposal of wastes of festivals, firecrackers, plastics and others decomposing materials, the market is filled with filth and smell of rotten vegetables.

Talking to this reporter, a bystander near Nagamapal road said that Imphal, truly becoming a 'smart city' is a distant dream if people are littering everywhere.
Raising slogans and planting trees will not help bring clean and green environment if people are littering plastics and other items which are decomposing the environment, he said.
Even though the State Government had declared ban on single use plastics, there are plastics wastes everywhere in the market.
"Just as people buy gifts for their love ones and family during festivals, they should have similar love towards environment.
They should dispose the wastes, plastics, gifts wraps and other items in proper places," he said.
Khwairamband Keithel now is a perfect example that shows people's lack of awareness on ill effects of pollution and degrading environment, he added.
