New Delhi:  Addressing COP 14 UN Convention in Greater Noida, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said India would put an end to single use plastic in the coming year and the world should say goodbye to it too.

"My govt has announced that India will put an end to single use plastic in the coming year. We are committed to environment friendly substitute," he said.

He then urged the world to say goodbye to single use plastic.

"I would like to draw you attention to another form of land degradation which if not prevented would be impossible to reverse. The menace of plastic waste," he said, adding that if the menace continued land would be rendered further unproductive and unfit for agriculture.
