Yes , The ban on Usage of Plastic is justified because of the following reasons:
1.Articles made up of plastics such as plastic  bags, bottles do not rot when they are thrown away after use. The waste plastic keep accumulating in the surroundings and pollute the environment . Thus, Plastics are not environment friendly.
2. The waste plastic polythene thrown here and there carelessly get  into dirty water drains and sewers and clog them.This makes sewage water to overflow over the streets and roads causing unhygienic conditions.
3. Sometimes, the animals like cow eats up the used polythene bags or plastics wrappers along with left over food and vegetables wastes thrown on garbage dumps. The plastic waste can choke the respiratory system of cow or form a plastic lining in their stomach. This can  cause death of these animals.
4. When the plastic materials are burnt they release poisonous gases which pollute the environment.
Hence i ,conclude by saying that Follow 5R's principle [Refuse, Reduce, Recycle, reuse and Recovery ] to save and protect the environment .

Ban on the use of plastic bags is justified because plastics are not bio-degradable. The main reasons why the ban is justified is as follows:
1) Our drains get choked due to plastic bags, impeding the flow of waste water. The stagnant water then becomes an ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes which act as carriers of malarial parasite, dengue virus and so on.
2) Choked drains lead to flooding of our cities and towns during the rainy season, leading to distress and the spread of waterborne diseases.
3) As plastics do not decompose, unlike natural fibres like choir and jute, they affect the plants, as rainwater is unable to percolate through the soil.
