Now the NGT has taken up the cause of SWACHH BHARATH….. Polluters … beware….
Fine Of Rs 10,000 Would Be Imposed On People Found Littering Public Places
Garbage and waste disposal management has been lacking in India. Not only does the mismanagement destroy the land, but it also affects animals, plants, air, our health and surroundings. To combat this problem, the government has decided to impose fines on the people found littering public places.
The National Green Tribunal has upheld that a fine of Rs 10,000 would be imposed on any person, government, agency, or private entity found littering at a public place. It also stated that all the entities are under statutory obligation to ensure that waste is gathered, transported and disposed of as per Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016.
The bench headed by Justice Swatanter Kumar, NGT Chairperson, said that any person, resident, hotel, vegetable market, slaughterhouse that does not comply with the rules and throws waste in public place or over any drain would be liable to pay environmental compensation of Rs 10,000 per offence. He also said that the waste should be segregated and disposed of depending on the type of waste.
