Conservation





On September 26, Bandu organized an anti-plastic programme at the ZP Primary School at Kutwanda in which school students cleaned up the main village road of plastic litter and waste. They then cleaned up the school premises. The litter/waste was then buried in pits. Another anti-plastic programme was organized on September 28 at Dewada.
