Ludhiana: The municipal corporation held a drive against plastic carry-bags in the city on Monday. The officials seized 1.25 quintal of banned plastic carry-bags from various shops and vegetable markets and issued challans of Rs 1 lakh. The shopkeepers were warned against using these and given two days to pay the challan amount.
A team led by MC secretary Jasdev Sekhon visited various areas. It started with Field Ganj main road, where a shop was checked and its plastic carry-bags confiscated. As the shopkeeper had kept cloth bags as well, officials appreciated him for doing so.
Two shops were checked at 16 Kutcha of Field Ganj. A shopkeeper argued with the officials that plastic carry-bags they seized from his shop were defective and he was not using those. Sekhon told him that those were banned and not allowed to be stored even if defective. The trader was issued a challan on the spot.
