The operation was led by the Panchavati division’s solid waste management team under the supervision of Kiran Maru, divisional sanitation inspector, and Dr Avesh Palod, director of the solid waste management department of the municipal corporation. To address the issue, NMC will continue inspections and special enforcement drives in markets, commercial establishments, shops and other business areas. The NMC administration has appealed to residents, traders and business owners to support the anti-plastic campaign by avoiding banned plastic products and adopting eco-friendly alternatives such as cloth and paper bags.
