The National Green Tribunal State panel chief Subhash Adi directed the local authorities in Mysuru to strictly monitor and implement the solid waste management plan and ban on plastic.
The NGT panel chief was taking stock of the solid and liquid waste management and its implementation in Mysuru on Friday, July 14.
Subhash Adi said that Mysuru was accorded the cleanest city tag in the Swacch Bharat Survey earlier, and it should reclaim that place again. Cleanliness is the hallmark of development but solid wastes, construction and demolition wastes cause harm and was visually polluting, he added. Apart from calling for strict implementation of the ban on single use plastic, Subhash Adi directed the officials to ensure that there was ban on its use in all government offices.
