Plastic carrybags below 40 microns is banned

The Thrissur Corporation is still grappling with the challenge of enforcing a ban on plastic carry bags in the city. The City Corporation declared a ban on plastic carrybags below thickness of 40 microns from July 1, 2011, with a promise to rid the city of the plastic menace. But with just a month away from the first anniversary of the ban, not a single street is seen without the litter of plastic carrybags.
