Plastic items: surprise checks to continue
The Coimbatore Corporation, in its fight against the use
of plastic covers and products that are less than 40 microns, will
continue to conduct surprise checks, Commissioner T.K. Ponnusamy said in
a release.
He said the Corporation had initiated a
special drive to check the use of the banned plastic products. In the
past few days, the civic body had seized 615 kg plastic bags and thus
far had seized 2,199 kg plastics. Further, in pursuit of banning
plastics less than 40 microns, the civic body would seriously view
violations and initiate action against those who manufacture and stock
such products.For, plastics that were dumped choked drains and led to stagnation of sewage. It led to mosquito breeding.
