The seized polythene was recycled material which is carcinogenic and highly hazardous for human health.

On receiving information from confidential source, SMC’s Anti Polythene squad reached the spot and raided the house of an offender Rafiq Ahamd, and successfully seized polythene Carry bags that were hidden in the back yard place of the resident house. “It sent shocking waves down my spine on seeing the back yards of their house full of polythene menace, said a senior most Anti-Polythene squad Official Mir Mansoor.
“Despite given strict warning against the use of polythene, it is sad and disturbing to see how these offenders are not doing away with polythene menace and are responsible for poisoning our environment and people gradually” said joint Commissioner SMC Fayaz Ahmad Bala who was present on spot. “We will not spare them, they will be dragged to Court and a legal action will be taken against the people who will not stop with the polythene practice” he added
