Nearly 16 lakh cloth bags to be distributed
The use of plastic carry bags will be banned across Mysuru district with effect from April 5 in a bid to make the district “plastic free’’ and comply with the Plastic Waste Management Rules 2016. The district administration will also reach out to nearly 7.35 lakh households and distribute cloth bags of 5 kg capacity so as to dissuade them from the use of plastic bags. Deputy Commissioner Rohini Sindhuri told media persons here on Saturday that these bags will also be distributed to vendors and also at major temples and be made available at a subsidised rate.More Related News
