The Nilgiris district administration has begun sealing shops that were found using banned plastic packaging.
Recently, teams from the Revenue Department conducted raids across the district, and seized banned plastic items that were being used by merchants.
According to the officials, an anti-plastic raid conducted on Saturday led to the closure of eight shops – three in Coonoor, four in Udhagamandalam and one in Gudalur. Many other shopkeepers were warned not to use banned plastic products to package any of the items they were selling.
