World Environment Day: Plastic water pouches banned in Gujarat's Rajkot from 5 June
Plastic water pouches will be banned on public roads, gardens and government offices from Tuesday, coinciding with the World Environment Day. The theme for this year's World Environment Day is "Beat Plastic Pollution
People tend to throw water pouches on the roads after use, which ends up choking drainage lines", the release stated, adding that it, in turn, creates health problems due to drain water spilling out into the open.

Report released today for World Environment Day, with 2018 theme 'Beat Plastic Pollution'
