In an initiative to make the Ganges pollution free, the city's municipal
corporation has banned littering of pan masala pouches and polythene bags on
the banks of the river.Mayor, Kanpur Nagar Nigam, Ravindra Patni said that those
found violating the order would be fined Rs 200. The ban extends to all the
five banks in the city. This initiative will definitely bring about a change in
the scenario as the decision to ban immersion of idols on Durga puja and on
Dusshera has contributed a lot towards keeping the Ganga clean, Patni said.
