KATHMANDU: The campaign would be initiated from Rara located at an altitude of 2972 metres above sea level. Art Summit Travel and Tours is coordinating the Campaign. Organisers plan to clean an area of seven kilometers from Tallomili to Rara and place 15 dustbins at various places on the stretch to mark the beginning of the campaign. Managing Director of the Art Summit Travel and Tours, Som Bahadur Tamang, said that the campaign aims to reduce an adverse impact in the environment caused by haphazard use of plastic.
