Sh. Jasbir Singh, City Team Leader, Municipal Corporation, Hisar explained the different types of plastics and how these plastics are deteriorating our environment. He also explained that burning of plastics releases toxic gases like dioxins, furans, mercury and polychlorinated biphenyls (better known as BCPs) into the atmosphere, which pose a threat to vegetation, and human and animal health. Thus, he made an appeal to all the participants to give up this method of plastic waste disposal and also limit their usage of plastics.

Sh. Harshit Narang, Asst. Director, PIB, Chandigarh gave the welcome address while Ms. Sapna, Assistant Director, ROB Chandigarh moderated the session and Sh. Daulat Ram, Incharge, FOB Hisar proposed the vote of thanks to all present in the webinar.
