CM Fadnavis plans a litter policy for Maharashtra

摘要

In a bid to tackle domestic waste and stop plastic from entering the sea, chief minister Devendra Fadnavis announced that a marine litter policy will be developed by the state government, a first in India. City-based lawyer Afroz Shah was joined by chief minister Devendra Fadnavis and Yuva Sena chief Aditya Thackeray for the Versova beach cleanup on Sunday afternoon. "Marine litter is major issue that is being faced by coastal cities like Mumbai. We have asked Afroz, as he is a lawyer, to survey this issue and frame draft guidelines to tackle this problem under a marine litter policy," said Fadnavis.
