Guwahati (Assam) [India], August 4 (ANI): Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma lit an earthen lamp at Nehru Stadium in Guwahati on Tuesday evening and prayed for boxer Lovlina Borgohain who will take on Turkey s Busenaz Surmeneli in the semi-final bout at Tokyo Olympics today.
Lovlina is the first Assamese to secure a medal in the history of 125 years of the Olympic Games and is set to bout in the seminal finals today to secure her berth for the finals.
To pray for the boxer s success, a programme was organised at the Nehru Stadium where all came together to light candles. By lighting a candle in front of the statue of Radha Govinda Baruah, Sarma marked the inauguration of the programme.
E-commerce waste With the increasing number of online buying, the evident effect is the rising number of packets and cardboard boxes. These small and seemingly insignificant packets are unknowingly creating a threat to the surroundings, especially in the semi-urban areas where full-fledged municipal waste collection facilities are still lacking. Most of the people either throw away or burn these packets. Throwing these boxes can block the drainage system, and the consequences are the monsoon maladies on the roads.
Most of the boxes we receive are in good condition and can be reused directly by changing the shipping details. In this regard, the e-commerce giants can take some initiatives to collect the packets under the banner of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. That initially may put some added levies on the companies. But in the longer horizon, this will be helpful to steadily reduce the environmental impact and, maybe, sustainable management of this waste.
