Strictly enforce polythene ban

It is most unfortunate that polythene bags are being used for grocery shopping even to this day. Polyethene bags were banned in 2002, but they are still being used despite the availability of other alternatives—such as jute bags.

It is time for the authorities to actually enforce the ban. Otherwise, what is the point of passing such laws in the first place?
