The Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) has informed the Nagpur bench of Bombay High Court that it will take legal and criminal action against Facebook and its owner, Meta, if they do not remove advertisements for the sale of nylon manja from their page Marketplace. Maharashtra has banned nylon manja, but illegal sales continue. The court has allowed the amicus to add the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and the Union consumer affairs ministry as respondents in the case.
