MNAC deploys squad to penalise people discarding waste haphazardly
Jamshedpur: The enforcement squad (ES) of the Mango Notified Area Committee (MNAC) has launched on-the-spot penalty drive to discipline residents discarding domestic waste on the streets. The five-member squad, headed by sanitation and food inspector (SFI) Sanjay Kumar, made random inspections of the colonies on Dimna Road, New Purulia Road, Sankosai, Paridih, and Olidih on Tuesday and Wednesday. Over the two days, the squad collected Rs 3,500 in penalties from 10 people for loosely discarding trash on the street. "It is not just about throwing leftover food on the street; even those dumping building materials on the road or illegally using single-use plastic items will be penalised by the enforcement team in accordance with the provisions of the Jharkhand Municipality Act 2011," said assistant municipal commissioner (AMC) Aqib Javed. The senior official said that cleaning workers are visiting door-to-door daily to collect domestic trash. People should segregate dry and wet waste in separate bins at the source and hand the bins to the cleaning workers. Further, dustbins have been installed at multiple spots to facilitate residents in disposing of waste. Amid the monsoon season, the MNAC is making extra effort to keep the command area litter-free. For this, the cleaning agencies have been asked to ensure that there's no break in the daily collection of waste.

Tippers in MNAC to have GPS tags
1 2 Jamshedpur: Tippers, which collect waste within the Mango Notified Area Committee (MNAC) limits, will be fitted with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) devices for their real time monitoring. The move, MNAC officials said, aims to ensure timely and regular waste collection from households and markets and public places. Additionally, the tippers will be allotted ward-wise identification numbers, and each vehicle will make rounds to the respective wards. "Very often, tippers are off the road due to mechanical faults, breakdowns, and driver absences. The ward-wise allotted number will aid in keeping track of the vehicles that are off the road. It will also help in determining whether the garbage of the respective ward was lifted or not due to the vehicle's fault," Mango deputy municipal commissioner Kirshna Kumar said. Cube Adityapur Waste Management Private Limited, the private enterprise entrusted with the collection and disposal of waste, has been directed to deploy sanitation workers in full strength for the regular disposal of waste from all the wards. Home to over 3 lakh people across 33 wards, MNAC collects 52 metric tonnes of municipal waste daily. A total of 292 cleaning workers and 26 Refuse Collection Vehicles (RCV) are engaged in the collection and disposal of the waste.

Aragon and Catalonia battle over the 'Sistine Chapel of Romanesque art'
Letter from Madrid After 11 years of complaints, appeals and back-and-forth between various courts, on May 28, Spain's Supreme Court finally ruled in the case of the mural paintings from the Romanesque Monastery of Santa María de Sijena. The dispute has pitted the regions of Aragon and Catalonia against each other since 2015. Unsurprisingly, but not without controversy, the court upheld, as a final ruling, the sentence imposed on the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (MNAC) in Barcelona: It must return the monastery's frescoes, located in the town of Villanueva de Sijena in the province of Huesca, within 20 days. Dating from 1196 to 1208, the works were removed in 1936 to protect them from the Spanish Civil War, before being purchased by the MNAC from nuns who were not the rightful owners. For the Catalan museum officials who have displayed the works since 1961, and who in recent years have called on numerous experts to bolster their case against the transfer, the decision puts extremely fragile works at risk. For the Aragonese government, which invested nearly €1.2 million in restoration work at the monastery, including the installation of a sophisticated climate control system to accommodate the paintings, it is time for the "Sistine Chapel of Romanesque art" to return to its original home. "The monastery is now able to store these works in perfect safety and, very soon, to exhibit them," said Jorge Azcon, president of the government of Aragon and of the right-wing People's Party of Aragon.
