Plastic garbage spoiling Himachal Pradesh tourism

The plastic garbage scattered in the Kufri region of Himachal Pradesh has been disappointing the tourists visiting the region. Although Himachal Pradesh became the first state in India to impose a ban on the use of plastic bags on June 5, 2004, many shopkeepers across the state continue to use plastic bags in gross violation of the law. The plastic waste scattered in and around the Mahasu Peak, one of the chief attractions of the Kufri region, is spoiling its beauty.
