Intensifying its campaign banning single-use plastic, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Monday seized 61.5 kg of plastic from various establishments and collected a fine of Rs 1.45 lakh from them. 

The move comes after an order from Maharashtra Pollution Control Board chairman Siddhesh Kadam. The BMC had last Monday (January 13) launched a campaign to tackle the use of single-use plastics, thermocol products like dishes, spoons, glasses, and carry bags.
