The Story in Brief
The Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) has urged residents to celebrate Nagarapanchami in an eco-friendly manner by avoiding single-use plastics. The civic body's campaign asks people to use reusable materials such as cloth bags, banana leaves, and steel utensils during the festival.
MCC's appeal is part of its ongoing efforts to protect the environment. The Deccan Herald reports that the corporation wants to reduce the plastic waste generated during religious celebrations.
The Indian Opinion
This MCC appeal is sensible but raises the usual question: will it be heeded or remain a well-intentioned circular? Every festival sees a spike in plastic waste, yet authorities seldom enforce bans. The real test will be the volume of single-use plastics collected by MCC's own sanitation teams on Nagarapanchami morning.
