Patiala, Jun 13 (UNI) In the drive to make the Punjabi University campus clean and environment friendly, it has been decided to make the campus smoke and polythene free within next six months.

Punjabi University Vice-Chancellor Dr Jaspal Singh announced this here today while addressing a newly-constituted 16-member Punjabi University Environment Society.
Holding of flower shows and special exhibitions of seasonal plants will also be made annual features, he said.
The Environment Society, he said, would prepare an advisory for all residents of the campus to make them aware about the growing menace of pollution.
