As the world wakes up to to the crisis of Ocean Plastic, India plans on a complete ban on single use plastic by 2022. Times Now looks at how India is planning to fight the plastic epidemic.

No ban on single use plastic, only awareness programs. No definitive timelines either. Are we any closer to finding alternatives for the single use plastic? Are we really prepared for plastic ban?

प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी ने सिंगल यूज प्लास्टिक के इस्तेमाल करने को कम करने के की लोगों से अपील की है. उन्होंने रेलवे, एयरपोर्ट और ऑफिस दफ्तरों से इसका कम से कम या नहीं करने की अपील की है. इस संबंध में जागरुकता फैलाने के लिए पीएम मोदी ने बनारस में 700 प्रधानों को चिट्ठी लिखी है.ये फैसला अच्छा है लेकिन सवाल उठता है कि इस चुनौती से निपटने के लिए हमारा समाज और लोग कितने तैयार हैं?

An important announcement by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday on the need to ban single-use plastic was made at a global convention to combat climate change and desertification. The stark reality of sudden, unpredictable climactic events is upon the world, and it's time to work to save the planet. This is no exaggeration, says environment researcher Sunita Narayan as she discusses the threats the world faces due to climate change, intense rain, heat events, dust storms and depletion of groundwater.

On his Independence Day address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi called for a movement to make India free of single-use plastic, beginning on Gandhi Jayanti, which falls on October 2. However, plastic is everywhere and shopkeepers and customers continue to depend on single-use plastic. Is the target of a full ban on single-use plastic too high, or it can be achieved? Across the country responsible citizens are working on their individual capacity not to use such plastic and spread awareness.

Over the last month, at least 200 people across 5 states have lost their lives due to excessive rainfall causing floods. Just in the course of 2019, we've seen a deadly heatwave in North and Central India, devastating floods in Bihar and Assam, torrential rains in Mumbai and the worst drought in 70 years in Chennai.

The death toll in the Kerala floods increased to 88 on Tuesday with an "extremely heavy rain" warning issued for three districts, even as the weather in deluge-hit Karnataka and Gujarat improved, allowing authorities to speed up rescue and relief operations.

Record rainfall and floods in some parts of the country have killed hundreds of people. Yet, some areas have seen less than average rain. Some statistics bring to light how these weather patterns are anything but normal. Is this going to be the new normal? Uneven rainfall patterns across the country has been rising.

Flood fury continues in Southwest India. According to the reports, 42 are dead in Kerala and 24 in Karnataka. Also, more than two lakh people have been evacuated to safer places from three districts of Kolhapur, Sangli, and Satara. Watch this video to know more.
