How the Plastic ban in Maharashtra has affected people, businesses in Mumbai, other cities

摘要

The state government has taken the stringent measures against use of plastic. Workers and traders are witnessing the negative impact of this move. However, in a relief to the affected ones, the Devendra Fadnavis government has announced that the complete ban on plastic bottles with a capacity lower than 0.5 litre will now be reversed. It said this will now be brought under a depository scheme. It is also learnt that the state government is likely to exempt bags used to pack garments, take away food containers, plastic glass, bowls etc. The government had made a provision of Rs 10 crore for creating public awareness about effective implementation of the move. Still, reports say there will be consequences, which need to be addressed and a solution is the need of the hour.
