The jute ministry issued a circular on Thursday to this effect.
 
In an earlier circular on Feb 5 last year, the government had made the use of jute compulsory in the preservation and transportation of 20 kgs or more of the six items.
 
The government is operating mobile courts across the country to ensure an enforcement of the Mandatory Jute Packaging Act, 2010 following the last year’s circular.
