He exhorted every citizen to adopt environmentally responsible habits and firmly say ‘No’ to single-use plastic.
Highlighting the five key pillars of the campaign, the Governor emphasized the importance of: spreading awareness about the hazards of plastic pollution, reducing dependency on single-use plastics, improving plastic waste management systems, encouraging the use of sustainable alternatives, and nurturing eco-friendly lifestyles.
Interacting with the Raj Bhavan officials and Forest Department staff attached to the premises, the Governor appreciated their dedication in preserving the greenery and natural beauty of the Raj Bhavan estate.
