In order to make city clean, beautiful and healthy the Deputy Commissioner Bokaro, Mukesh Kumar, has launched a unique initiative 'Smile you are in Bokaro'. He asked his officials and staffs to use cycle at least one day to come to the office from next Saturday. DC also urged mass to use cycle at least one day in a week.
This will not only reduce the consumption of oil, but will also reduce the economic pressure of the Government, he said. "If someone cannot use a bicycle in any worst circumstances, then use the cars or motorbikes by sharing with others so that fuel consumptions can be minimized along with pollution," added DC.
Cycling is a healthy, low-impact exercise that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, from young children to older adults. It is also fun, cheap and good for the environment, said DC. He said, following the clarion call given by Prime Minister to shun single-use of plastic a total ban on plastic has been already imposed in the offices across the district.
We have launched a ‘plastic-free’ exercise by getting rid of such materials in all Government offices, an order has been executed stating that the use of plastic items such as plastic bags, water bottles, plastic glasses, plates, tea cups including others is banned in all Government offices in the district from the immediate effect, he said.
DC also urged the local bodies in the district to completely avoid the use of plastic, complying with the Government’s decision to ban all types of plastic in the country.
