Thin plastic bags come back in Hyderabad
Source: Deccan Chronicle, Date: , 2017
Deccan Chronicle, Hyderabad, Jan 2017: The manufacture and sale of plastic carry
bags below 40 microns was banned by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation a few months ago, citing
environmental conditions. But many shops continue to supply the bags, which are
cheaper than the alternatives, right under the nose of the authorities. Mr
Jeetender Patel, a shop owner, said manufacturing companies are still making
the thinner bags and distributing them. “We purchase them from the manufacturer
and sell them to retailers in bulk," he said. Mr Kishan Singh, the owner
of a sweetmeat shop, said, “A few months ago the GHMC authorities raided many
shops and seized carry- bags below 40 microns and issued challans. But after
some days, the bags were back in the market and from that time till now, nobody
has even asked about it."
