Salyan's Triveni Rural Municipality and Kumakh Rural Municipality have banned the sale of plastic flower garlands during Dasaintihar. Since plastic materials affect the environment, the two municipalities have requested for the market arrangement of flowers produced by local farmers.
The chief administrative officer of Triveni Rural Municipality, Khum Bahadur KC, said that the sale and distribution of plastic flower garlands has been banned during the festival to protect the environment and give priority to locally produced goods. He informed that production and sale of tobacco products have been banned in the municipality.
According to him, in accordance with the legal authority given by Section (15) 1 of the Environmental Protection Act of the Government of Nepal 2076, the sale and distribution of plastic garlands and the production and sale of palm products have been banned from the executive meeting.
Dilip Kumar Soni, chief administrative officer of Kumakh rural municipality, said that the sale of plastic flower garlands has been banned to give preference to flowers produced by farmers at the local level. He says that buying flowers produced by farmers at the local level will increase the income level and the money will not go out.
