Vasai-Virar Seizes Nearly Three Tonnes of Banned Plastic

The municipal corporation inspected two shops in Dhumal Nagar because they allegedly had banned plastic.

Officials found plastic at both businesses and seized nearly three tonnes.

They also fined the traders, but the report does not say how much.

During the inspection, one shopkeeper became angry.

He poured petrol inside the shop and threatened to burn it down.

Municipal workers stopped him and warned that police could become involved.

Local police were alerted, and the area was briefly tense.

Officials said they would keep enforcing the rules against banned plastic.
