JAMMU, Nov 24: When it comes to waste segregation, the biggest challenge - after setting up civic infrastructure and manpower - is to bring change in people's attitude towards responsible waste disposal. In this regard Jammu Municipal Corporation will launch a drive to segregate waste at source said Rajinder Sharma, Mayor JMC.
In order to make Jammu clean the garbage segregation campaign will be initiated in wards of JMC. The concept aims to inculcate the habit of segregation among residents and education campaigns regarding it have already going on the ground to popularise the concept.
"The initiative for waste segregation at source will be initially started from 100 houses said Mayor while addressing the media persons today at Conference hall of JMC.
Also a massive campaign will be taken to educate the general public about the ill effects of single-use plastic items and the need for waste management added Mayor. He added that Children can be considered the changemakers, in fact, when it comes to waste segregation. We have plans of taking the concept to schools so they will in turn inspire their parents to follow through. There's better response when children are involved.
