Bhandara, Legislation made regarding plastic ban. An awareness campaign was launched regarding how dangerous plastic is. When it didn’t even matter. So strict action was taken and fine was collected. As long as the administration was strict. Its positive effects were also being seen to be seen. But now it seems that it was all a farce. There was no seriousness in it.
Plastic has returned to its splendid form as before. People had made it a habit to take a cloth bag with them at the time of leaving the house. People are also abstaining from their good habit. Plastic bags are being used indiscriminately in the market and the administration is sitting blindly.
Excessive use of plastic polythene
Due to the relaxation in the plastic ban, the use of plastic bags has started again in all the tehsils along with the district headquarters Bhandara city. The picture is that both the seller and the consumer are using plastic bags without thinking. The amount of plastic in the garbage has also increased a lot and it is being ignored by the administration.
plastic bags returned
About two to three years ago, after the government banned the use of plastic, the local administration formed a squad and took action against the shopkeepers. With the impact of minor action, the use of plastic bags was decreasing for some time now.
Plastic bags were replaced by cloth and paper bags. Hundreds of kilograms of plastic were confiscated due to the campaign carried out in the entire district. From the seller to the citizens, the fear about the action had increased.
People had appreciated this action and were forced to change their habit. Heavy fines were taken against the sellers. Now that the action has calmed down, the use of plastic bags has increased again. The local administration needs to pay attention to this.
need strict
Indiscriminate use of plastic can be seen in the market. People have given up the good habit of carrying a cloth bag. Most of the plastic polythene is being used in buying greens.
miss the discipline
Even though this cloth bag discipline lasted only a short time. But people still remember the discipline of banning plastic. Plastic bags are being handed over to the customers again. Consumers are also accepting plastic bags without any hesitation. As a result, there is less waste and more plastic in the daily waste. The local administration needs to pay attention to this.
Most of the items are plastic packaging. Groceries, milk, yogurt, fruits or vegetables are served in plastic bags. Once the vegetables are removed, the bag is thrown out of the dustbin into the city council’s garbage cart. These days, most of the plastic is visible in the garbage heap. Apart from this, the rate of plastic being thrown anywhere in the open road is also increasing.
How to supply low quality plastic bags even after plastic ban? Such a question is also valid. If use is banned, why not the product? Citizens have raised such a question. It is better that the administration should maintain its strict attitude.
need to be reviewed
Everyone knows how dangerous plastic is. It is better to avoid plastic. It is more important than the strictness of the administration that people change their natural habits. A cloth bag should be kept with you while going out of the house.
