GMC Advises Shopkeepers, Puja Pandal Committees And Citizens Not To Toss Banana Trees On Streets
The GMC has advised shopkeepers, puja pandal committees and citizens not to toss banana trees on streets.
The banana trees which are no longer needed after the festivities can be safely disposed in GMC garbage vans instead of clustering them in the streets, the GMC said. The municipal body issued a helpline number which can be contacted for disposal of the trees.
Taking to X, the GMC wrote, “Don’t toss the banana trees on the streets. Call GMC on our helpline number, and we’ll pick them up! Whether they’re unsold or used, we’ll ensure proper disposal. Let’s light up the city without littering it. Together, we can make a difference!”
The helpline number issued by the municipal body for the citizens is 8811007000.
