Prohibition on the use of plastic bags thinner than 40 microns
The Kottayam Municipality has commenced operations to enforce the ban on plastic items. The authorities have launched a drive to inspect commercial establishments to make sure the ban is adhered to. Though the municipality accepted the decision of the District Administration in June, a formal ban came into effect only on August 1.
