An inclined flood city like Mumbai has another motivation to respect the prohibition on plastic packs. In July 2005, record rains and floods killed over a thousand people in the city. People and urban organizers said plastic sacks that gagged channels were one reason for the fiasco. Rural Maharashtra chose to boycott the deal and utilization of plastic sacks.
