It has been over a year since the state-wide plastic ban came into effect. While the move has recorded little success, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) now wants to practice what it preaches. The civic body's G-South ward has requested its employees to drink water from glass bottles only. These bottles will be provided every day by the BMC on office premises.

The BMC hopes to achieve two targets through this—promotion of the plastic-free movement among its employees, as well as spreading of awareness on the quality of the civic body's water to citizens.
