Plastic Banned

In an inspection operation, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) seized more than 2,000 kg of banned plastic in the last two-and-half months. With this, a fine of Rs16 lakh from the shops and dealers using banned and single-use plastic was collected. Notably, the civic body revived the drive against banning plastic on July 1, and planned to inspect malls, supermarkets and shops, in a phased manner.
