The Times of India, Bhopal, July 18 2017:- Though partially, the impact of the ban on polythene
carrybags is visible at the ground level, not because of the administration's
efforts, but due to untiring efforts of a few green crusaders in the city.
Despite constraints, some self-motivated Bhopalis are doing their bit to ensure
that the hazardous carrybags are out of use completely. While the local
administration is floundering to implement the much-touted ban, these selfless
Bhopalis are leaving no stone unturned to make the city a better place to live
in. They are also rueing the half-hearted attempt by the administration to
enforce the ban. "There are no clear-cut directives from the state
government to implement the ban. As a result, we have been in a dilemma whether
to use them or not," said Satish Gangrade, president of new market
traders' association. He added that there is still a lot of confusion regarding
polythene.
