Imphal: Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh appealed on Saturday to the public against littering and disposing of plastic waste. 

He was speaking during an event of distributing plastic drop boxes to local youth club volunteers at the Western Gate of the Chief Minister’s Secretariat on Saturday.

The Chief Minister distributed 22 plastic drop boxes out of 58 numbers donated by the Babina Group, UNACCO, and BPCL Distributors Association. Later, the Chief Minister flagged off an “External Press Conducted Tour of Nepal” for mediapersons from the same spot.

Speaking to mediapersons on the sidelines of the distribution event, the Chief Minister said it is part of the efforts to keep India neat and clean. This is a concerted effort of the Youth for Peace and Progress Manipur and prominent entrepreneurs and industrialists of the state towards making Manipur a plastic waste-free State and lessening the problem of clogging drains and rivers due to plastic waste.

These plastic drop boxes will be installed in public places for people to dispose of their plastic bottles and waste in these boxes so that the waste may be further recycled, the Chief Minister said.

Biren Singh 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.

Commending community involvement with local clubs coming out voluntarily to join in developmental works, the Chief Minister said the development of a society begins with small efforts and further appealed to all to join in the movement to make Manipur a garbage-free state.
