The Minister added that together we must ensure the healthy quality of air, water and food. He said that working on developing clean and green steel, decarbonisation and carbon-neutral in a planned manner will be beneficial for our future.

Singh further said, "the use of plastic waste in place of coking and non-coking coal will be helpful to reduce pollution and convert the waste into wealth.
