A Division Bench of the Kerala High Court on Friday directed the State government to take steps to impose complete plastic ban and sale of other non-biodegradable materials at the Sannidhanam.

The Bench comprising Justice Thottathil B. Radhakrishnan and Justice K. Vinod Chandran pointed out that no objection had been raised from any quarters to its suggestion that no articles of food other than ‘kanji’ (rice gruel) and necessary side dishes need be provided in and around the Sannidhanam and Pampa.
