MMC's ban on plastic bags sale may take months to come into effect!

It may take months before the much-publicised Margao Municipal Council's ban on sale of plastic carry bags in the city finally comes into effect. For, the Civic body on Saturday began an arduous job of stamping the plastic carry bags in possession with individual shop owners. The objective behind the stamping the plastic bags with the Civic seal is to ensure the owners do not bring in fresh stocks of bags after the current stock is over.
