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.
