BERHAMPUR: A two-day plastic-free campaign initiated by the Ganjam district administration was kicked off on Friday, October 1, 2021.

Mass rallies followed by oath-taking and cleaning drives were held in different blocks and gram panchayats.

Tourists and locals were urged to avoid single-use plastic at the beach and other areas. Kulange directed concerned officials to continue the campaign throughout the month to create awareness among the masses.
