During a visit to the mandi, enforcement teams caught three stockists selling plastic carry bags. The banned items were seized and the stockists were issued challans. The seized plastic was transported to the dry waste processing plant for shredding.

An MC official said the UT Administration had banned single-use plastic items, including plastic carry bags and non-woven carry bags, in 2019.

The Chandigarh Pollution Control Committee and the MC regularly conduct awareness activities and inspections to enforce the ban.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
