Manufacturers' association opposes Maha govt's plastic ban 
The All India Plastic Manufacturers' Association (AIPMA) has opposed the Maharashtra government's plan to completely ban plastic bags in the state. Calling the step "impractical", the AIPMA urged the state to work with them towards finding an "amicable solution for pollution". A delegation of AIPMA representatives also approached the government requesting to reconsider the plan last week.
