Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi told the annual gathering of world leaders at the United Nations on Friday that India was launching a campaign to stamp out the use of singleuse plastics.
“Even as I am addressing you today a very large campaign is being started across the entire country to make India free of single use plastic,” Modi, who wants to scrap such plastics by 2022, told the 193-member UN General Assembly.
Officials told Reuters last month that India is set to impose a nationwide ban on plastic bags, cups and straws on Oct 2. (RTRS)
