Every time a city inundates in deluge, the primary reason seems to be the drains getting choked with plastic. Low weight plastic carry bags that are of low recycling value end up on roadsides or garbage dumps, causing water logs during rains. The health impacts of plastic are numerous. All this together prompted the Commissioner to make resolution on plastic ban. While the ban continues in Rajamahendravaram the implementation went astray within a quick time and the Municipal corporation is taking proper measures in achieving 100% ban on plastic to face the challenges ahead. Rajamahendravaram Municipal Corporation has been bringing awareness to both end users i.e vendors and consumers. The current situation and quantity of plastic bags used in the city is reduced and is quite impressive with the help of promoting paper bags, cotton bags. Raids are also conducted division wise at random shops and are charged with fine if found using plastic bags. People are also invited to complain if found so, and announcing on plastic use with the help of a portable mic and speaker at public places is also in practice which is found to be very effective. Along with the efforts put in by the Municipal Corporation Non Govt. Organisations are also lending a supporting hand in bringing awareness.
