Govt fails to curtail use of polythene bags



KATHMANDU: The government’s decision to ban polythene bag is limited to papers. The government had decided to impose a ban on the manufacture and sale of polythene bags on May 2015 citing environmental hazard by the non-degradable products. However, even after some four years, the decision is not in effect since the manufacturing and sale of polythene bags continues as normal, according to Naya Patrika.
