Navi Mumbai Promotes Eco-Friendly Ganeshotsav with Recycling
The leader of Navi Mumbai wants everyone to celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi using decorations made from old clothes that have been recycled.
This is part of a bigger plan to help the environment and give women jobs.
Old clothes are turned into new things like yarn.
The city is adding more places where people can drop off their old clothes, and they'll show off the eco-friendly decorations in public places to encourage people to use them.
Navi Mumbai Municipal Commissioner Dr. Kailas Shinde urges citizens to use eco-friendly decorations for Ganesh Chaturthi.
The city's Textile Recycling Facility is expanding its operations and outreach.
Dr. Shinde visited the textile recycling center in Belapur and interacted with women.
The project, a collaboration between the Union Ministry of Textiles and NMMC, converts old clothes into reusable materials.
Eco-friendly festival products will be showcased in malls and markets.
