Anantnag authorities have issued a stern warning to businesses and individuals regarding the use of banned polythene bags. The district administration has declared a ten-day grace period before imposing strict penalties, including business closures, for those found violating the ban.
Polythene pollution has been identified as a significant environmental threat, causing contamination of land, air, and water. Despite previous awareness campaigns, the continued use of polythene bags by shops and vendors has prompted this decisive action.
