2. Voice: Use Passive Voice where possible to make the report sound more formal and objective.

3. Tone: Use formal, simple, and direct language. Avoid using "I" or "me."

4. Order: Present information in the order it actually occurred (Chronological Order).

The Standard Format:

1. Heading: A catchy and brief title that tells the reader what the report is about.

2. Place and Date: Essential for newspaper reports (e.g., Guwahati, December 13).

3. The Body:

- Introduction: Answer the 5 W’s—What, When, Where, Why, and Who.

- Details: Explain how the event happened, including key highlights or eyewitness accounts.

- Conclusion: End with the outcome, a summary, or a closing remark (like a vote of thanks or police action).

Ans:

Plastic Ban Flouted: Environmental Damage Soars

Guwahati, 13th December 2022: Despite the state government's clear directive banning single-use plastic bags, their usage remains rampant across major cities and towns, threatening our environmental health. A recent survey by this correspondent reveals that the ban is largely being ignored by small vendors and consumers alike due to weak enforcement and lack of affordable alternatives.

The indiscriminate use of plastic bags is causing severe ecological damage. Since plastic is non-biodegradable, it chokes drainage systems, leading to waterlogging during monsoons. Furthermore, when dumped, it contaminates soil and groundwater. Animals often ingest discarded bags, which proves fatal for them. The situation demands immediate and strict implementation of the ban, coupled with public awareness campaigns promoting reusable options like cloth and jute bags, before the damage becomes irreversible.
