The suggestion was among the slew of directions passed by the Bench of Justices Tarlok Singh Chauhan and Sushil Kukreja to improve waste management practices in the State.
In the July 19 order, the Court asked the State government to look at the measures taken in other tourism-heavy states such as Goa and Sikkim to promote sustainable tourism.
“In order to promote sustainability in all the tourist destinations and to ensure community participation towards achieving this goal, the State should take cue from the Government of Sikkim, in which it has been made mandatory for all tourist vehicles entering the State to carry a large garbage bag in their respective vehicles and the responsibility has been fastened upon the concerned tour operators, travel agencies and vehicle drivers to disseminate the information about the use of garbage bag for waste collection and disposal,” the Court added.
