Asif Zakaria, a Congress corporator from Bandra, said, "I have not seen any blue squad member in the area, and all vendors and shopkeepers are giving out plastic bags. This clearly shows how unsuccessful the ban has been." Speaking to mid-day, Deputy Municipal Commissioner Vijay Balamwar, said, "Whenever we receive complaints, our officials take immediate action. It is a continuous process wherein even the citizens should refuse to take plastic bags from shopkeepers. I will also direct the officials to conduct more aggressive drives."
