Usage of polythene and sale of cigarettes banned in Vavuniya
The Vavuniya South Tamil Pradeshiya Sabha has banned the usage of polythene and sale of cigarettes in areas which fall under its purview from March 01.
The decision was made after a proposal to this effect was unanimously approved by the members of the Pradeshiya Sabha.
Public Health Inspectors (PHIs) in the area are expected to assist the implementation of this proposal in a proper manner.
Meanwhile, the Vavuniya South Sinhala Pradeshiya Sabha has completed 80 percent of implementing a similar project which bans the sale of cigarettes in areas under its purview.
The sale of cigarettes in Vavuniya had dropped by 78 percent by October last year as a result of this project, PHIs claim.
