Delhi Environment Minister Imran Hussain on Tuesday urged the people to minimise the use of plastic and not use single-use plastic material at all.
Hussain was speaking after inaugurating ‘Yoga Spot’ and ‘Herbal Garden’ at the Hauz Rani forest area here, along with Acting Chief Justice of Delhi High Court Gita Mittal on the occasion of World Environment Day.
“The Minister stressed the need for minimising the use of plastic in daily life. He noted the adverse effects of plastic waste — clogging of water channels, plastic deposit in bodies of cattle, non-biodegradability of plastic waste etc. He dissuaded the use of plastic, especially single-use plastic,” an official statement said.
