The Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) has launched a drive to create awareness and penalise those who dump waste in public places in the City. MCC Commissioner CL Anand said that throwing waste in public places spoils the beauty of the city. Dumping waste on the roadside and public places by people affects swachhata (cleanliness). Hence, we have decided to launch awareness drives and impose penalties on those who violate the rules, he said.
Accordingly, the City Corporation has slapped a fine on those who dumped garbage at Mannagudda. A penalty of Rs 4,000 was collected from those who dumped garbage in public places, as per the solid waste management byelaw, he said, adding that dumping of garbage in public places and by the side of the road has created black spots in several places. He also warned of taking legal action against those who dump garbage in public places.
