Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu advocates elimination of single-use plastic from daily life
Projecting the single-use plastic as a demon that can potentially harm the earth, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has advocated the need for its elimination from our daily lives. Addressing the public on 'Swarnandhra Swacchandra', at the Praja Vedika conducted here on Saturday, Mr. Naidu explained how the micro plastic entered the food chain and further into the human body, potentially impacting the health of every living being on earth. 'Our government is committed to the 'No Plastic' slogan. Even burning plastic releases fumes that not only harm the environment but also cause respiratory disorders. We will ban plastic less than 120 microns, such as cups and plates,' he said. Explaining the elimination schedule in a phased manner, the Chief Minister said the single-use plastic would be stamped out of the State Secretariat by Independence Day (August 15), and the same would be shown the door from 17 Municipal Corporations by Gandhi Jayanti (October 2). While calling it a sacred movement, Mr. Naidu appealed to the public to join hands with the government to help in its smooth implementation. 'A global holy destination such as Tirupati should lead by example and be the guiding light for the rest of the State,' he remarked. Circular economy Mr. Naidu explained that the State was planning to surge ahead in the direction of circular economy, hinting at the need to reuse and recycle the resources. Referring to the industrial park developed in a whopping 300 acres at Thukivakam integrated waste processing centre, he narrated the process of converting wet waste into compost and biogas, and the process of making discarded plastic into granules. 'We are generating 9,000 tonnes of garbage collectively from 123 local bodies per day — 5,500 tonnes dry waste and 3,500 tonnes wet waste. The previous government has left behind 86 lakh tonnes of waste, which will be removed by October 2,' the Chief Minister said. Renewing his appeal to the public not to litter in public places, Mr. Naidu asked them to emulate Japan, where the roads were considered as sacred as their homes.

Shah Rukh Khan Suffers Injury During King Shoot, Flies To US For Treatment: Report
Last Updated: Shah Rukh Khan suffers a muscle injury on the sets of King while performing stunts. Filming is paused as SRK travels to the US for medical treatment. Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming action-packed thriller King is easily among the most anticipated films of 2026. While fans have been eagerly tracking every update since filming began in May this year, recent news might come as a brief dampener. According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, the superstar sustained an injury while shooting an intense action sequence at Golden Tobacco studio in Mumbai. Though the specifics of the injury remain confidential, insiders reveal that SRK has now flown to the United States for medical attention. 'It's not a serious injury, but more of a muscular strain," a source close to the production shared. 'Over the years, Shah Rukh has picked up multiple injuries from stunt work, and this seems to be a result of accumulated stress." The insider added that the actor's team opted for precautionary care abroad, ensuring he receives the best treatment available. Doctors have reportedly advised SRK to take a complete break for at least a month. As a result, the film's shooting schedule has been paused. Locations such as Film City, Golden Tobacco, and YRF Studios were initially booked through July and August, but the bookings have now been cancelled until further notice. The next schedule is expected to resume sometime in September or October. King, which marks yet another high-octane venture for SRK, boasts a massive ensemble cast including Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Mukerji, Deepika Padukone, Arshad Warsi, Abhay Verma, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Raghav Juyal, Jaideep Ahlawat, Saurabh Shukla, and Suhana Khan. Though the official release date is yet to be confirmed, industry buzz suggests that the film was aiming for a Gandhi Jayanti 2026 release. However, with the current delay in production, it remains to be seen whether the film's timeline will be pushed further. For now, fans will be hoping for a speedy recovery for King Khan and an equally powerful comeback when King returns to set. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
