Two hundred residents' associations/buildings in south Mumbai will become plastic-free by June 17 as a drive against single-use plastic was launched.
Bollywood actress Dia Mirza launched the initiative called 'Quit Plastic Movement' in Cuffe Parade area.
"Thanks again @deespeak for launching #QuitPlasticMovement earlier today. By June 17th, 200 resident associations/buildings in South Mumbai will go plastic-free #BeatPlasticPollution," former Union minister and Congress&nbsp;leader Milind Deora tweeted.
Ahead of the launch of the movement, Deora had on May 24 said that it was high time that people "eliminated" single-use plastic from their lives and urged them to join the cause 75 years after Mahatma Gandhi launched 'Quit India Movement' (in 1942).
The Maharashtra government in March imposed a ban on "manufacture, sale, use, distribution and storage" of several&nbsp;plastic goods and materials including polythene bags, plastic plates, cups, spoons and forks, thermocol and PET bottles.
