Kozhikode Corporation to resume drive against plastic

The Kozhikode Corporation has renewed its efforts to implement the State-level ban on single-use plastic and has put out a notice to all concerned that inspections in shops and establishments by the health wing will resume soon. Earlier, inspections were held for two months, and over 500 kg of banned items were seized from various parts of the city in just two days. Subsequently, plastic carry bags, disposable containers, and PVC flexes had disappeared from the city. Supermarkets stopped providing carry bags for free and started supplying cloth bags to encourage the public to carry own bags.
