The BMC communication team is also planning a leaflet with a message on how to build a plastic-free city and facts about the ill effects of polythene/plastics, legal provisions to restrict, regulate and ban the use of plastic. It has also got a section on how the various institutions would restrict the use of polythene/plastics. While plastic bottles would be recycled by manufacturers, the Odisha State Pollution Control Board would initiate action against polythene manufacturers in industrial areas, the sources added.
