Nepal has a population of about 28m. Kathmandu has a population of about 1m.

> The Nepal Plastic Manufacturers’ Association said that whether the ban is imposed or not, 4,700,000 to 4,800,000 pieces of plastic bags would be consumed daily in Kathmandu itself.

That's a surprising number of bags for a small population. Everyone in Kathmandu uses more than 4 bags, every single day?
