Kochi | Thursday | 13th February, 2020

Summary:

Action will be initiated if we find anyone using plastic carry bags. Since textile shops are using large amounts of such bags, we have slapped a fine. However, Kalyan Silks officials denied using banned plastic carry bags. “We used compostable plastic carry bags. “The government has imposed a blanket ban on plastic carry bags and the manufacturers of the carry bags know the prescribed standards they need to follow,” added Singh..
