Unique way of sensitizing people! Depicting single use plastic as a ghost, Halloween rally organised in Chandigarh

Chandigarh, November 1: Now, the people of India have committed war against the single-use plastic. Mass awareness is being spread across the country through many different ways. As a part of this mass sensitization on minimizing the use of plastic, a Halloween rally on the theme 'The Harrows of Plastic' was organised in Chandigarh yesterday. It was flagged off from the Lake Club by Chief Conservator of Forests, Chandigarh, Debendra Dalai. The rally culminated at the Sukhna Lake.

 

In Panjab, the camping named ‘Plastic ka time up’ was organised by the Public Relations Department, the Environment Department and the Government College of Arts. Students of the arts college fabricated a 50-foot tall ghostly creature - a plastic demon made of fibre glass mounted on a rickshaw.

Through a silent rally, the message it sought to deliver could be heard loud and clear as participants dressed as ghouls and demons of plastic to symbolise the negative impact it has on the health of the planet. Most participants accompanied the plastic demon, donning creative dresses fashioned out of plastics and used face painting and creative slogans to reiterate resolve to end single-use plastics.

 

The rally received an outstanding response from the people, with many promising that they would stop using single-use plastic and adopt alternatives, it said.
