Government reintroduces ban on plastic bags, but implementation remains doubtful

Many governments in the past came up with decisions to ban the use of plastic bags but none have been effective.

Sumana Gautam of Pepsicola, Kathmandu doesn't take any bags with her when she goes to the local market to shop for grocery items. She is also unaware of a government ban announced this week on plastic bags with thickness below 40 microns.
