It is not the first time that the territorial administration had embarked on a mission to ban plastic items below 51 microns. After a failed attempt, the territorial administration will once again try to impose a ban on manufacture and use of plastic bags below 51 microns. The government has advised hoteliers to abstain from packing ready to eat food items in butter paper and instead they should use plantain leaf for packing hot food items, he said. In public interest: Social Welfare Minister M. Kandasamy holding a meeting with officials to discuss about the ban on plastic carry bags in Puducherry on Wednesday. As per the Food Safety Act, hoteliers are not supposed to pack hot items in plastic items due to potential health hazards.
