It may be noted that last year the Corporation of the City had tackled the garbage issue in a different way and for the first time, CCP has decided to do away with use of plastic at the film festival banning the use of plastic at the venue and directing the stall owners to use only metal or melamine plates which could be washed and reused.
Every year around four tonnes of garbage is being generated during the film festival inside the city jurisdiction while Garbage bins are normally installed at various points and staff being deputed to guide the delegates during the festival too.
Last year the corporation has received Rs ten lakh to collect garbage generated during the festival,
