Shiv Sena To Make Maharashtra Plastic-Free

The Shiv Sena-led govt will make Maharashtra free of single-use plastic items by May 1.
This was said by Environment Minister Aaditya Thackeray on Friday.
Thackeray said, "Single-use disposable plastic items are already banned in the state. However, these items are still found in markets."
"Plastic bottles of soft drinks are exempt from the ban as of now", he said.
He further added that the govt has also fixed Rs 15 per kg rate under the buy-back policy of plastic items from conservancy workers.
