Polythene being traded freely !
Polythene bags were banned by the previous government. A law has also been passed for preventing the environment degrading polybags. Unfortunately, like many other laws, this law also could not see the light of implementation. Polythene has a very adverse impact on bio-diversity and the environment. It creates dangerous impact on the production of our main staple rice as well as other agricultural products by destroying the productivity of soil. So, our sincere request to the law-enforcement agencies and officials of the Department of Environment (DoE), please play your role in stopping the use of this hazardous substance.
