Narnual, April 25: The Haryana State Pollution Control Board has successfully transported 225 kg of single-use plastic waste to the Murthal waste-to-energy plant following an intensive collection drive in Narnaul. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to reduce the environmental footprint of the district while contributing to regional energy production.
Vijay Chaudhary, the Regional Officer for Mahendragarh, stated that the action was taken to enforce the existing ban on plastic and promote the utilization of waste for power generation. He affirmed that such campaigns are vital for reducing pollution levels and will continue until the region is free of prohibited plastic materials.
“For this, such campaigns and strict action will continue,” Chaudhary declared. He noted that the board is currently focusing on a two-pronged approach involving both a crackdown on violators and a widespread awareness program to educate the public on the dangers of single-use plastics.
The board maintained that the scientific disposal of this waste at the Murthal facility prevents the hazardous environmental degradation typically associated with improper plastic dumping. Chaudhary asserted that achieving a clean environment remains a top priority, though he stated that this goal is only attainable if citizens actively choose to avoid plastic in their daily routines.
Regular inspections are slated to continue across Narnaul to ensure businesses and individuals adhere to the current regulations. Officials affirmed that the success of the recent campaign serves as a model for future efforts to integrate environmental protection with sustainable energy solutions.
