Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) on Wednesday seized 11 sacks of non-standard polythene bags from a transport operator’s godown at Siyaganj and slapped a spot fine of Rs 50,000 on him.

Both the officials went on an inspection at Shree Ram Transport in Siyaganj and found that he has illegally stored a massive amount of non-standard polyethene bags at his godown. The sacks of polythene bags were seized and the operator was asked to pay a fine of Rs 50,000.
