The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will start cracking down on the use of prohibited plastic products from today. Five-member teams comprising civic officials, police officers and Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) personnel will make rounds in every ward to ensure malls, shops, stockists and hawkers aren’t using proscribed plastic items.
Common citizens will be let off with a warning initially, but strict action will be taken against them later.
