The government of Andhra Pradesh had delayed the implementation of the plastic Flexi ban until January 26, which was supposed to take effect today. Flexi manufacturers requested the government more time to change technology and manufacturing equipment.
The officials brought their request to the CM's attention. The CM responded positively and ordered the ban to go into effect on January 26. Meanwhile, he has directed the officials to provide them with adequate technological support.
