KOT MOMIN – During the examination of the solid waste, that is lifted from across the city on daily basis, it has been found, that major quantity of solid waste is composed of plastic bags, says Assistant Commissioner Aleeza Rehan. Plastic bags add to the volume of solid waste, and due to being non bio degradable, they stay in the environment almost forever, she added. She also said, “Citizens need to rationalise the use of plastic bags in daily routine.” Plastic bags block our open drains and lead to the ultimate blockage of sewerage lines of the city, she said.
