EACCI against use of plastic bags

The Eastern Assam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (EACCI) has said that the ban of plastics by the district administration goes against the government policy. The body mentioned this while objecting to the prohibitory order on the manufacture, sale and use of plastic carry bags within the district. While recognizing the menace caused by the disposal of these bags, it laid the blame on the inefficiency of the municipality and lack of civic sense among the people.
