Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In its two random inspections in the first week of July, the Swachhta Enforcement Squad (SES) of the municipal body has found that single-use plastic items are in wide circulation mostly among the footpath vendors and the grocery retailers. Single-use plastic carry bags are also in circulation among the vegetable and fruit sellers, besides readymade cloth vendors on the footpath of the Sakchi market, said city manager, Jyoti Punj, who is a member of the enforcement squad. Punj said grocery retailers in the Golmuri and Sakchi markets have been penalised for using the single-use plastic carry bags. The vendors operating food carts on the roadside were using the banned plastic spoons, plates, cups and crockery items for holding the food and serving it to the customers, he said in a warning to users of the banned item. "Apart from seizing the banned items, a penalty of Rs 75,000 has been imposed on the traders for the violation of the Plastic Waste Management (Amendment) Rules, 2021," the city manager said. The official further said the traders have been warned that their trade and vendor licenses would be suspended if they were found violating the rules a second time. He also said the SES, comprising revenue and sanitation officials, besides the city managers, are focusing on the awareness aspect so that the customers and buyers are encouraged to say no to the prohibited items. "The use of prohibited plastic carry bags has visibly come down but to achieve zero net use, we need total cooperation of the people, including the traders and the buyers," he added. Other JNAC officials said Sakchi, Golmuri, Sidhgora and Kadma markets were on their radar as these places have a large number of grocery and vendor shops and draw customers in big numbers.
