WATCH: Amphan relief clogs Sunderbans with plastic

Cyclonic storm Amphan has wreaked havoc in various parts of West Bengal. Heavy rainfall had caused huge loss to the people and ecosystem of Sunderbans. After the cyclone, NGOs and organisations who donated tonnes of items to the distressed have also unknowingly introduced plastic pollution in Sundarban biosphere. People who generously donated brought tonnes of rations, dry food, clothes, water bottles and medicine also brought in tonnes of plastic waste. Environmentalists also fear that the huge amount of plastics may block the drainage system in Sunderbans.
