The Uttar Pradesh cabinet has approved a complete ban on the distribution, manufacture and sales of polythene carry bags in the state.
- The polythene ban in the state is being initiated because of the court’s order and also because it is environment friendly.
- The Allahabad high court had last month directed the Uttar Pradesh government to issue a notification enforcing a complete ban on the sale of polythene across the state by December 31. The National Green Tribunal (NGT) too had recently banned the use of polythene along the Ganga, including areas in Uttar Pradesh.
Key Points:
- UP Chief Minister: Akhilesh Yadav
- Governor: Ram Naik
