Absence of alternatives has been cited by stakeholders as an obstacle even as environmentalists dismissed it as a lack of will on the part of civic bodies.<br /> <br /> Will India, being the host of this year's WED, be able to drive global efforts to beat plastic pollution? Environment secretary C K Mishra said, &quot;India will use this occasion to spread the message of reducing plastic pollution and like to assume the role of global leader on this. We would like to appeal to every citizen to help us do that.&quot;<br /> <br /> Mishra told TOI that environment minister Harsh Vardhan wrote to all states and UTs and sensitised them towards India's efforts to tackle the menace of plastic pollution .<br /> <br /> Many states are learnt to have prepared action plans for this.

Enforce rules to eliminate single-use carry bags: Centre to states -Vishwa Mohan |
-The Times of India
NEW DELHI: Being the global host of this year's World Environment Day (June 5) with 'Beat Plastic Pollution' as its theme, the Centre has written to all states and Union Territories (UTs) to undertake a massive campaign against use of single-use plastics and enforce rules to ensure elimination of plastic carry bags of less than 50 microns in thickness. Though the Centre had banned polythene bags below 50 microns in thickness across the country in 2016, most states have so far failed to enforce it amid resistance from small businesses and vendors. Absence of alternatives has been cited by stakeholders as an obstacle even as environmentalists dismissed it as a lack of will on the part of civic bodies. Will India, being the host of this year's WED, be able to drive global efforts to beat plastic pollution? Environment secretary C K Mishra said, "India will use this occasion to spread the message of reducing plastic pollution and like to assume the role of global leader on this. We would like to appeal to every citizen to help us do that." Mishra told TOI that environment minister Harsh Vardhan wrote to all states and UTs and sensitised them towards India's efforts to tackle the menace of plastic pollution . Many states are learnt to have prepared action plans for this. Since focus of the WED will be on actions against single-use plastics, it is expected that many corporate houses will come out with their respective plans to completely ban such plastics which include bags, straws and water bottles among others.
