POLICY PARALYSIS
POLICY PARALYSIS Off late when Maharashtra government decided to put a ban on plastic from 23 rd June, the initiative was commended by people. And the media showed the effect of this ban, people disposed off the carry bags in the garbage bin. However, I personally feel that, this is just the fab which will sooner be over. If you remember, the same ban was imposed in Delhi a few years ago, but it could not gather much public attention and support as a reason it was called off.
