“The call to action includes Immediate enforcement of bans on plastic bags in all retail and grocery stores , Promotion of reusable bags and other eco-friendly alternatives, Public awareness campaigns to educate communities on the importance of reducing plastic waste.
Vivek Bali urges local authorities, businesses, and citizens to unite in this effort. By working together, we can protect our environment, safeguard our health, and ensure a sustainable future for generations to come.
