Ban on polythene at all national monuments from today

Polythene will be banned at all national monuments from Sunday, the second anniversary of the Swachh Bharat Mission which coincides with Gandhi Jayanti.

“Taking forward the Swachh Bharat Mission, we have decided to ban polythene at all national monuments and tourist destinations from Gandhi Jayanti this year,” Union Tourism Minister Mahesh Sharma said.

 He, however, clarified that plastic bottles will not be banned, but tourists will be asked to place those in the recycle bins.
