Following complaints of rampant littering and a dirty environment, Bihar's tourist destination Rajgir has been declared a polythene free zone from Dec-2. All hotels, shops, and street vendors have been ordered to stop using polybags of more than 40 micron thickness. Rajgir is the second most visited tourist place in the Buddhist circuit in the state after Bodh Gaya.
