An environmental awareness campaign titled ‘Say No to Single‑Use Plastic’ was launched in MG Bazaar, Agartala, urging residents to cut down plastic waste and adopt greener habits.
The MG Bazaar area of Agartala witnessed the start of a new environmental awareness drive aimed at curbing the use of single‑use plastic. Organized by local community groups in coordination with municipal officials, the campaign seeks to educate shoppers and vendors about the environmental hazards of disposable plastic items.
Participants were handed informational leaflets that outline practical alternatives such as cloth bags, reusable containers and biodegradable packaging. Demonstrations highlighted how small changes in daily consumption can significantly reduce plastic litter in streets and waterways.
The initiative forms part of a broader effort by Tripura’s authorities to promote sustainable practices across the state. Organizers hope that the message will resonate beyond MG Bazaar, encouraging other markets and neighborhoods to adopt similar anti‑plastic measures.
Authorities have pledged to monitor the impact of the drive and consider further steps, including stricter regulation of plastic distribution, to ensure a cleaner, greener Tripura for residents and visitors alike.
