My illness delayed Goa from becoming plastic-free: Parrikar

Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar on Monday said his mission to make the state plastic-free by 2018 was delayed due to his illness. Parrikar, who recently underwent treatment for an advanced pancreatic ailment in the US, added, "Educated people throw plastic and dirt... When educated people do this, there is a reason behind it. Lack of knowledge is the reason."
