In a unique move, sadiwara village panchayat of South Kashmir’s Anantnag District has come up with the idea of offering a gold coin for collecting plastic waste to save the environment.

The village head has started a campaign called ‘Give Plastic and Take Gold.’ Surprisingly, after the start of the campaign, within 15 days, the whole village was declared plastic free.

It has been learned that, under the campaign, if someone gives plastic waste of 20 quintals, then the Panchayat will give him a Gold coin, the village head informed this while talking to the media.
