He said this while chairing an important meeting of the Safa Quetta Integrated Solid Waste Management Project at the Chief Minister Secretariat.

In the meeting, it was decided to ban the use of plastic bags across Balochistan including the provincial capital Quetta.

While directing to make the project more effective and efficient, Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti said that the ban on plastic bags would not only save the environment from pollution but could also improve the cleanliness and beauty of the city.

He said that these steps initiated by the government could be successful only when the people cooperate fully in them.
