Mathura: Amid a drive to make river Yamuna
pollution free in the holy city, a trust on Saturday claimed it had
made Lord Krishna's birthplace free of polythene bags.
The Lord's birthplace had been completely rid of bags
made of polythene, the Shri Krishna Janmasthan Seva Sansthan
said.
Trust's secretary Kapil Sharma and member Gopeshwar
Nath Chaturvedi said all temples in the vicinity of Krishna's
birthplace had been made polythene-free.
Only environment-friendly products would be used from
today for worship purposes, they said.
A ban on selling products in polythene has also been
enforced in the city from today.
