| ULB to setup ‘polythene check Post’ at Qazigund | |
Anantnag, February 23, (Scoop News)- To stop importation of banned Polythene, Urban Local Bodies Kashmir is going to setup a ‘polythene check Post’ on Srinagar-Jammu National Highway at Lower Munda Qazigund.
The order in this regard was issued by newly appointed Director Urban Local Bodies Kashmir Reyaz Ahmad Wani on Tuesday.
“The Jammu and Kashmir Government has already banned the polythene carry bags within the territorial limits of state, however the matter was re-examined and it was felt necessary to setup a polythene check Post at Lower Munda Qazigund near Toll Post to ensure no vehicles carrying polythene enter into the Kashmir division,” reads the order.
Director Urban Local Bodies Kashmir has directed Executive Officer Municipal Committee Qazigund to depute at least four employees to the polythene check Post.
Important to mention here, state government in exercise of the powers confirmed by sub-section (3) of section (7) of the Jammu and Kashmir Non-biodegradable material (Management, Handling & Disposal) Act 2007 vide SRO 182 Dated 18-06-2008 has imposed ban on the polythene carry bags.
However, despite ban polythene carry bags continue to remain in use through-out the state particularly in Kashmir as Urban Local Bodies Kashmir failed to deliver.
