The Chandigarh MC on Wednesday conducted a special drive against the use of banned polythene in Manimajra, reaffirming its zero-tolerance stance on single-use plastic. During the enforcement raid, 13 challans were issued to violators found using prohibited plastic materials. The MC has made it clear that strict action will continue against defaulters, and such surprise inspections will be carried out regularly to ensure full compliance with environmental norms. Alongside enforcement, a comprehensive cleanliness and awareness campaign was organised at Shivalik Enclave, NAC Ward No. 6, Manimajra.
