Single use plastic ban: A total of 20,036 inspections including 6448 inspections by CPCB teams were carried out on October 17. Over 4,000 violations were observed and 2,900 challans have been issued to the defaulters.
Amid the Nationwide campaign to eliminate single-use plastic, following a notification released by the central government, the country has seized around 46 tonnes of single-use plastic so far, officials said on Thursday.
The ban, which comes into effect from July 1, faces challenges at several levels, from enforcement to a lack of viable alternatives to plastic products.
