Summary:
To tag Gandhian ideologies to protect the environment is fair enough to halt further deterioration of conditions.

It is like purpose vs publicity kind of thing that remains the common buzz all over the country and no surprise that the Naveen Patnaik has also toed a similar line to bring a respite for the clogged environment.
And the Jayanti of Mahatma Gandhi has been used as an impacting way to cash on the occasion in its pursuit of politics.
Just days before every October 2, an alarm bell rings and for a day or two, a serious concern comes to sight in the shape of some paper-made containers at various outlets.
Then days pass when plastic containers reappear and the same vendors abandon that freakish albeit years old use of paper bags and very sheepishly push a polythene container with the orders.
And in most of such occasions the diktat from the government, whether the central or state, comes with a huff which naturally triggers some amount of fear among users.
But, do the governments ever realize as what would be the alternate means.
Suddenly one finds the news channels catch hold of experts who preach sermons over the hazards and pitch for alternative means.
Which is good but the sudden shift gets impracticable to get along with.
For example no plastic or polythene in use can be over 50 micron .
But has the government ensured two things is a simple question, that agitates anyone.
