Plastic carry bag traders met Mayor Balkar Singh Sandhu on Tuesday, requesting him to allow use and sale of above 50 micron polythene carry bags in the city.
Sandhu said the civic body would allow above 50 micron carry bags in the city. He said no compromise would be made on banned single use plastic items and guidelines of the government would be followed. Earlier this month, the MC had carried out a drive against plastic carry bags and seized around 1,200 kg of poly bags during raids. Later, the drive was stalled.
