MMC plan for plastic-free Margao only in record books!
A plastic-free Margao. That's what the Margao Civic body has set out late last year by banning sale of plastic bags in the Commercial capital. Sadly, after repeated failed deadlines, the ban has now been confined to the Civic record books, thanks to the change of guard in the Civic body and the lack of enthusiasm by the Civic babus. It was with great fanfare that then Chief Officer, N D Agrawal ably supported by the Chairperson, Johnson Fernandes announced a ban on the sale of plastic bags across the city from Goa Liberation Day on December 19.
