Bhubaneswar: Odisha Chief Secretary Pradeep Kumar Jena has appealed to the people to organise plastic-free picnics in natural spots across the state.

In a press release on Sunday, the chief secretary told the people to be “ambassadors of green picnic” this season. As they would throng the picnic sites in natural environment in good number on Christmas and New Year, they should take care not to bring any harm to the area.

Jena advised the picnickers not to carry single-use plastic materials to the spots and use plates and cups made of compostable or biodegradable materials.

They should not litter the waste materials around the place and instead, put those in the designated garbage boxes. They should also clean up the spot before leaving, he requested.

Stating that the Odisha State Pollution Control Board and “Youth for Water”, a social organisation, were carrying out awareness campaign about green and clean environment, the chief secretary sought the support of all people in this regard.

“Call for a plastic-free picnic not only protects our environment but also helps sustain it for our future generations. It is our responsibility to take care of Mother Nature as a custodian,” he said.
