Bada Mangal in Lucknow: Organisers for green, eco-friendly ‘bhandaras’ this year

Lucknow Municipal Corporation has partnered with civil society organisations to promote clean and green community feasts during Bada Mangal. The initiative aims to limit waste like plastic and thermocol plates, polythene bags, and water bottles generated after the community feast. Lucknow-based NGO Mangalman has roped in 100 such organisations that are planning to host eco-friendly community feasts across Lucknow on the first Badamangal. The NGO has also invited people to register on its website for free to avail tips and help on waste disposal.
