30 bags of plastic waste collected on first day; special drive till Mar. 21
Mysore/Mysuru: Forest Department has launched a special drive to make Chamundi Hill plastic-free. Starting from Mar. 3 to 21, the Department will be collecting plastic waste at the Hill. Chamundi Hill is a prominent religious and tourist spot in Old Mysuru region, where the plastic waste is posing a threat not just for the birds, but also for the sand deposits in the Hill. Chamundi Hill is already declared as Plastic-Free Zone, but there has been an unabated use of plastic. Now action has been taken to collect plastic waste disposed by tourists and devotees alike on the hill route.
