Prayagraj, 8 January – The Uttar Pradesh Government has launched the slogan “Plastic-Free, Clean Kumbha” to avoid the use of plastic during the Mahakumbha Mela. Extensive awareness efforts have been initiated to ensure the Mahakumbha area remains free of plastic.
For this, signboards have been placed along all the routes of the Mahakumbha Mela, urging people not to use plastic. Devotees have been appealed to use earthen cups (kulhad) for tea instead of plastic ones and cloth bags instead of plastic bags. The Uttar Pradesh Government has conveyed the message, “Reject plastic, embrace the environment,” through these signboards.
