LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Friday banned the use of polythene bags across the city.
During the proceedings, LHC ordered the authorities concerned to implement the court orders and completely prohibit the use of polythene bags within two weeks.
LHC’s Justice Shahid Karim ordered the relevant authorities to appraise the court about banning the use of plastic bottles by the next hearing.
“In the next phase, we would issue a verdict on banning polythene bags in other cities of Punjab,” the judge said.
The court adjourned the hearing until March 13.
Earlier, Balochistan’s Provincial Secretary on Environment Abdul Saboor Kakar said the ban on polythene (plastic) bags has been enforced in different parts of the province.
