To create awareness about the ban on usage of plastic carry bags in the city, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has proposed to administer a pledge to school children on 1 August, 2011.
This pledge was scheduled for Saturday, 30 June, but was postponed by a day. Mayor B Kartika Reddy directed the DEOs of Hyderabad and Ranga Reddy districts to make the necessary arrangements and to make the occasion a success.
She also instructed the Zonal Commissioners and Deputy Commissioners to involve the Corporators in the event and to coordinate with headmasters/headmistresses of schools in their respective circles for the effective conduction of the program. (INN)
