Do you like this story?
Kathmandu, July 6: The Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment
is to impose restriction once again on the use of polythene bags in the
Kathmandu Valley from coming fiscal year onwards.
The ban was imposed on the use of plastic bag in
Kathmandu effective from 14 April but the Ministry could not monitor the
practice because of 25 April 25 earthquake and subsequent recurring
aftershocks.
Ministry Spokesperson noted that the polythene bag
usw would be strictly restricted after monitoring the plastic bags
producers and users from new fiscal year.
So far, the Ministry has seized 14 quintals of
plastic after raiding different companies producing polythene in major
cities of the Valley.
It is stated that the plastic use not only inflicted
damages to human health but also caused environmental degradation and
eroded beauty of the city.
The plastic use would be discouraged with strict
monitoring measures in place in commercial hub where its supply is high
from new fiscal year, said environment expert Dr Jayaram Adhikari. RSS
