The Pollibetta panchayat has decided to impose fine on merchants and public who use plastic bags from August 1.
The panchayath had banned plastic in August, 2010.
“If a person is found using plastic bags, he\she will have to pay Rs 300 as fine for the first time. Second time offenders will be fined Rs 500,” said panchayat president Kuttanda Nanda. “The panchayat has no place to dump plastic wastes. It is because of that we had taken the decision to ban plastic bags,” the president added.
