The National Green Tribunal (NGT) State panel chief Justice Subhash Adi directed the district administration to ensure that Chamundi Hills is free of plastic before the commencement of Dasara this year.
He was interacting with the heads of various departments of the District Administration here on Friday, July 14, and said though there is a ban on single-use plastic, it lacked effective implementation.
Subhash Adi said Chamundi Hills defined or symbolised Mysuru and is important for entire Karnataka just as Tirupati was for Andhra Pradesh. Hence, the ban on plastic should be enforced while conservation should be given a priority, said Mr. Adi, while warning of dangers ahead if plastic ban was not enforced.
