Nobody can ban plastic unless citizens feel like from within

Mumbai, June 22: Nobody can ban plastic unless citizens don't feel like from within says Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn and actress Kajol while attending an event in the city which was about the recent ban on plastic.

 

Ajay and Kajol have come together to champion the cause of plastic ban in Maharashtra. The stay on the ban of plastic bags in Maharashtra will end on June 23, after which any person found using them will have to pay the fine imposed by the authorities.

Ajay and Kajol are environmentally conscious. They were extremely happy to put their weight behind such an initiative. They are likely to meet Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis soon. Ajay and Kajol are also expected to be present on July 22 for the exhibition, which is being organized by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation to find an alternative to plastic bags.

The government had, in March, issued a notification banning the manufacturing, sale, use of all single-use plastic bags. Besides, it banned an array of products, including cutlery, single-use containers, and straws. The penalties for the violation range between Rs. 5,000 and Rs. 25,000. The government had allowed time until June 23 to dispose of banned items.
