Taking serious note of the latest decision of the National Green Tribunal (NGT), the Chandigarh Administration has speed up the enforcement of ban imposed on the use of polythene carry bags/plastic bags/plates/cups and other allied material in Union Territory of Chandigarh. As per NGT directions there is also provision of imposing fine of Rs.5, 000/- "Environmental Compensation" to the erring person/entity per event, along with seizure of such stocks.

With the help of this discussion platform the Administration requests you to 'report the violations' (attach pictures or other details) regarding use of plastic carry bag/plate/cup and allied items on ww.mygov.in. Also, we would like to read your suggestions/ideas as well as practical/workable solutions for complete imposition of plastic (carry bag/cup/plate and allied items) ban in Chandigarh.

#CarryPlasticBags Plastics use should be minimized. Large scale production of cleaner and greener products like paper and jute bags must be prompted. Institutions and also people must be made aware of the harm caused by plastics.

people are lazy,but they want low cost and easy to carriable things. So Let them start using wooden maden things. Government should provide license for industrial to physically handicaps. Or Gov should provide tax benefit to maximum purches for online orders and provide job opportunity for parttime/full time door delivery jobs to youth under goverment services. And motivate creatives with some benefits.

प्लास्टिक बैग इस तरह के होने चाहिए कि पानी में ये घुल जाए और पानी को कोई नुकसान ना पहुचाये।ऐसा प्लास्टिक बैग में बैक्टीरिया की उपस्थिति से संभव है।दा

#Ban One of the main reason for water getting logged is due to these plastic wastes getting into the drainage and water channels. Its sheer laziness of the people, as they don't want to get anything to carry when they come for shopping and buy lot and go. Thats sheer laziness. I have made sure my self to carry couple of used covers when i go for shopping to avoid new wastes. Also it should be responsibility of each and everyone of us to make sure that we segregate the waste.

Dears, There are generations without plastic, and due to shear laziness people are very happy to use plastic, without knowing the end results. When we take hot foods in a plastic plate some percentage of plastic will be melted in the food and the same will be consumed by us, at that point of time it may not create havoc, gradually it will develop into many health disorders. Hence I request our government should ban plastics at least in food industry..

The need of the hour is to think on the lines of making products like edible cones used in cone ice-cream, where the cone along with ice-cream can be consumed, unlike ice-cream served in cups with plastic spoon, which is difficult to dispose and often litters the road. It is time we realise that holy earth is like inherited family jewel & we have no right to sell or exhaust this and leave an empty shelf for our future generations.

As plastic is the cheapest method of packing, it will be continously used among the shopkeepers providing 1)extra tax on production of plastics 2)"take a kit with u initiative" by which every citizen is encouraged to take an old kit at his/her home and go for shopping rather than taking new ones from the shopkeepers , i hav seen people asking for kit 4 small items that can be easily carried without kit this can reduced by increasing the price of the kit and banning only cheap plastickits of 1rs.
