Now the central government must issue a strong rule according this. So the chain will continue go on.

GOOD. Some initiative. But it remains to be seen if the authorities can maintain the same grip in implementing all along. Because, i have seen in my place our civic authorities declared war on plastics some time ago and they failed miserably in implementing it fully.

This rule is applicable in our area for long time but there is no value of it practically. Polythene bags are available openly which are only choking the drainage system drastically.

Of course that is to be seen...Mangalore has always been a clean city and people are very aware here and come together the moment there is need to correct things, like bad roads etc...Now we have concrete roads all over the city and even the smaller roads are being upgraded. So, I feel that plastic ban is here to stay since there have been a lot of debates with the public actively participating...

Pay no mind to those who talk behind your back, it simply means that you are two steps ahead !!!

That's good news and I hope soon other cities also implement these rules so that we can improve our environment to a great extent.

Was it effective at least in the beginning and later became lax in implementation....I agree that plastic and polythene bags are choking the drains and messing up all the cities and people have to seriously think of taking stronger measures...
