The issue of rampant use as well as indiscriminate disposal of single-use plastic in Tirupati came to the fore once again, with the new Commissioner of Municipal Corporation of Tirupati (MCT) Aditi Singh personally bearing witness to the same.
It may be recalled that Tirupati was the first city to ban plastic covers, glasses and cups back in 2018, much ahead of the ban imposed across the State. The ban made even the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) contemplate the use of paper boxes or bio-degradable bags to distribute the famous ‘Laddu’ prasadam to the devotees.
