In Chandigarh, a police station gets a challan over its garbage
During an inspection, the MC team found that mixed waste was being improperly stacked within the premises of the police station, in clear defiance of waste segregation norms.
As per the rules, it is mandatory for all institutions and households to segregate wet waste (organic/kitchen waste) and dry waste (plastic, paper, etc.) at the source before disposal.
Besides, 205 challans were issued to residents found handing over unsegregated waste to door-to-door collectors while 34 challans were issued to violators against littering.
This was part of a special challan drive in different parts of the city on Tuesday.
MC commissioner Amit Kumar said that non-compliance will not be tolerated, and such drives will now be conducted regularly across all sectors. 'It is the responsibility of every resident to contribute towards a cleaner Chandigarh,' he stated. 'Segregation at source is not a choice — it is the law.'
