Plastic Carry Bags Ban Initiative – Arani Town Panchayat

The usage of Plastic carry bags has been banned in Arani Town Panchayat for very first time in the Ponneri Taluk. Very few town panchayats in Thiruvallur district, Tamilnadu have banned the usage of Plastic carry bags to avoid plastic wastage. Arani Town Panchayat is very proud to be one among them on plastic carry bags ban. The plastic bag ban came to effect in Arani on August 2012.

However, some people and merchants are stilling using the plastic bags, most of the people at Arani Town Panchayat started to bring their own shopping bags for their different shopping experiences in the Streets of Arani. The Pillars of India and Arani ExNoRa are planning to conduct a “Plastic Ban Awareness Program” to give the awareness about the importance to stop the usage of plastic carry bags. Hope this Plastic ban awareness program will stimulate every individual to stop using plastic bags.
