Travellers heading to Uttarakhand are now required to carry a garbage bag and bin in their vehicles to avoid facing strict action by authorities. The decision comes as part of the state government’s efforts to tackle the problem of waste management and environmental conservation in popular tourist destinations.
The new rule aims to ensure that visitors do not litter the scenic landscapes of Uttarakhand, which have been facing increasing levels of pollution due to the large number of tourists. Those found violating the rule and littering the area will face penalties and fines imposed by the authorities.
Environmentalist groups and local residents have welcomed the move, calling it a necessary step to protect the natural beauty of Uttarakhand from the detrimental effects of irresponsible waste disposal. They hope that the implementation of this rule will lead to a more sustainable and cleaner environment for both residents and tourists alike.
Tourists planning to visit Uttarakhand are advised to be mindful of their waste disposal practices and do their part in keeping the region clean and litter-free. By taking small actions such as carrying a garbage bag and bin in their vehicles, visitors can contribute to the preservation of the environment and help maintain the beauty of Uttarakhand for future generations to enjoy.
