NGT bans use of non-biodegradable plastic
bags in Delhi
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) imposed
an interim ban on use of non-biodegradable plastic bags which are less than 50
microns in the entire national capital.
A bench headed by NGT chairperson Justice Swatanter
Kumar also announced an environment compensation of Rs5,000 on anyone found in
possession of such banned plastic.
The NGT had prohibited
the use of disposable plastic in the entire city, especially at hotels,
restaurants and for public and private functions, while asking the Delhi
government to take appropriate steps against “storage, sale and use” of such
material from 1 January this year.
It had also said that an environment compensation of
Rs10,000 would be imposed on vegetable vendors and slaughter houses for
throwing garbage in public places.
