than tradefair, govt. may restrict entry of any type of plastic bags in Delhi metro to implement the ban on plastic bags effectively..And yes! the branding of paper bags is also a good idea… it must be manage properly.
Plus the fine on end user who is using it on road must be fined… with whatever the amount

Implemetation of Ban on plastic bags seems difficult in Delhi as we have noticed that largly migrated population is using these plastic bags regularly to carry their daily need items at work. We may see at Bus stops, train stations etc. Even school going children are seen carrying books/ etc in these bags. The only way to restric these is to pursuade the business houses/ PSUs, Govt to distribute Cotton / jute bags free in the selected areas with their logos or messages printed on these bags , this will provide them the adverising of their company or products at a minimual cost.
It is suggested that the Delhi Govt must ban the distribution of the plastic and Non Woven bags atleast in the forthcoming exhibitions at Pragati Maidan as a pre conditon to exhibitors and shopkeepers. This is a general practice to distribute bags with leaflets to visitors.This will help in restricting the distribution of the banned non eco friendly bags and availability of Ecofriendly bags for use and reuse by the public at large.

In Surat there was a Collector named Rao about 15 years back – right after the plague scare. He put the fear into everyone and the city went from being a sewer to, while not being clean, a lot better.

Later he was in Vizag working on different problems with his typical success. He was a high level public servant that could accomplish ‘the needful’ to use an Indian expression. He was also known for being 100% honest.

Unfortunately there are too few like him – both for dedication & honesty.

At the company where I worked we had posters all over the place – all they meant was that someone had won a competition – no one cared what they said or intended to follow them. The day before the owner came to site there was always a major cleanup.
