Work Dr Raj Shekhar: Dear Officers and Media Friends good evening. 1) To ensure a "Safe and Healthy Environment" at work places and Public places , the UPSRTC has issued necessary orders for effective action in polythene Ban order of the Government. 2) MD UPSRTC has issued necessary instructions to UPSRTC HQ Nodal Officers, All RMs, SMs, ARMs, Workshops and Depot incharge to follow the Polythene Ban orders and to take appropriate steps for its effective implementation at Bus stations, Office spaces, Workshops etc . 3) In addition to the above, MD UPSRTC has issued necessary orders prohibiting the use of "Plastic Bottled Mineral Water" at the UPSRTC HQ offices and at all Regional Offices and Depot workshops. Instead of plastic Bottled Mineral Water, stress and emphasis is given on the RO water/Water Filters and use of Paper cups or Steel glasses to prevent use of plastic and to minimise the wastage of Water . 4) It's also important to bring awareness among Passengers who are using UPSRTC buses about the Harmful effects of Polythene and about the Ban on polythene use in UP. To ensure this, it's important that each Passenger is made aware about Polythene Ban and are warned about the Legal and penal provisions. So Hoardings, posters, Banner will be displayed at the Bus stations and Stickers will be Pasted at various places inside the buses for the information and awareness of common man using the facility. 5) UPSRTC has constituted a "Green Cell" at HQ to monitor the Polythene Ban implementation and for spreading awareness among Passengers . The Green cell consist of Addl MD , GM (O), EE (West), Dy CME . 6) Hon'ble Transport Minister, Chairman UPSRTC and MD UPSRTC has solicited cooperation and active participation of all passengers and officers in making the UPSRTC premises and Buses polythene free in coming days and to contribute positively for the Protection of environment .
