The Maharashtra government ban on plastic items is all set to come into effect from tomorrow. Environment Minister Ramdas Kadam said that an extensive awareness campaign will be carried out in the next eight days to inform people about banned items.

Errant manufacturers will face a strong action, but common people and small traders will not be harassed, he said. "We will ensure that common people and small traders are not harassed. But strict action will be taken again plastic manufacturers (if they break the law)," the senior Shiv Sena minister said.

The fine for the first-time and second-time offenders will be Rs. 5,000 and Rs. 10,000, respectively. A third violation will attract a fine of Rs. 25,000 and a jail term for three months.
