Twelve years after the first ban on plastic bags in the state failed, the environment ministry has decided to ban them again from the Gudi Padwa (March next year).
Environment minister Ramdas Kadam announced the ban after holding a meeting with key government officials on Tuesday.
The meeting was attended, among others, by additional chief secretary (environment) Satish Gavai and Maharashtra Pollution Control Board chief P Anbalagan. Kadam said that the alternative to plastic bags would be decided soon. He also asked his department to find out if the women self-help groups could stitch cloth bags and present them as an alternative to plastic bags.
The ban will be imposed in a phased manner in the state.
