RAJOURI: In a bid to curb the usage of single-use plastic, Mohammad Aijaz Asad, deputy commissioner (DC), Rajouri, has established 22 committees at district and tehsil levels of Jammu to keep an eye on the use of single use plastic in the union territory. The committees began their work by carrying out checks on illegal polythene bags in the markets of various tehsils.
The anti-polythene drive was conducted at Rajouri, Sunderbani, Kalakot, Nowshera, Thanmamndi, Darhal and Kotranka towns under the supervision of Sher Singh, additional DC, and other sub divisional magistrates. The DC directed that plastic bottles, glasses, cups and all other types of single use plastic items shall not be used any further in official meetings in the district.
The officials during the drive instructed the shopkeepers to refrain from using polythene bags in day-to-day life and go for their eco-friendly alternatives.
“People of the district have been requested to shun the use of polythene and help the district administration in keeping the district clean, green and free from plastic,” said the deputy commissioner.
