Imphal, Mar 25 : Chief Minister N Biren Singh distributed plastic drop boxes to local youth club volunteers at the Western Gate of the Chief Minister’s Secretariat this morning and appealed to the public against littering and disposing of plastic waste everywhere.
The Chief Minister distributed 22 plastic drop boxes out of 58 pieces donated by Babina Group, UNACCO and BPCL Distributors Association.
Later, the Chief Minister flagged off a team of media persons for an external tour at Nepal from the same spot.
Speaking to media persons, the Chief Minister said that the drop boxes were distributed to local clubs with a broader vision to make Manipur a plastic waste free State and keep the country neat and clean.
This is a concerted effort of the Youth for Peace and Progress Manipur and prominent entrepreneurs and industrialists of the State to lessen the problem of clogging drains and rivers due to plastic waste, he added.
Saying that the plastic drop boxes will be installed at public places so that people can dispose of plastic bottles and other wastes properly, N Biren appealed to the people to extend cooperation in the initiative.
The bottles and other plastic waste dumped at the drop boxes can be recycled, the Chief Minister maintained and lauded BABINA Group of Companies Chairman and Managing Director Dr Thangjam Dhabali Singh, UNACCO Managing Director Ningombam Irabanta, BPCL and all those involved for their endeavour.
