New Delhi: The state environment department is in quite a fix over its plastic bag ban. The first time it banned the bag in 2009 it was on directions of the Delhi high court. The second ban, imposed in 2012 on its own initiative, has been stayed by the same court based on a petition by the plastic bags manufacturers. Now with the Supreme Court asking state governments for the status of plastic waste management in their respective areas, Delhi government is hoping for some respite.
