To curb polythene use, a nationwide operation against manufacturers will begin on Sunday by mobile courts, said Tapan Kumar Biswas, additional secretary of the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change.
He made the announcement during a raid at the Mohammadpur Krishi Market on Friday (November 1) morning.
