Banning it is one thing, we'll see if they can actually enforce it.

If Rwanda can enforce it, I don't see why Delhi can't.

I think one reason could be because Delhi doesn't have it's own border control? But yea I get it, there are lots of things that can be done to enforce it.

Rwanda is a pint-sized dictatorship governed with an iron first. Delhi is a howling cesspit of chaos.

In addition to the obvious enforcement problems in Delhi itself, Delhi is only a small part of the National Capital Region, meaning tons of plastic will flow in from Haryana and UP even if Delhi does manage to clean up its act.

Amen to that. I feel the same whenever I see a news along the lines of "India has banned ${something-that-sounds-nice}". Indian (and State) govt(s) need to start enforcing what they say.
