Report waste dumping to cops, vehicle will be seized: CM
New Delhi: Cows at a garbage dumping site on Earth Day 2025, in east Delhi. Earth Day is celebrated every year to spread awareness to protect our environment. (PTI Photo/Manvender Vashist Lav) Panaji: Chief minister Pramod Sawant on Monday said that any person who spots a miscreant dumping garbage illegally by the roadsides can alert the police about it. 'If you hand over all things being discarded for collection, then there will be no littering in the village. If any person is dumping waste in your village and if you spot it, then stop right there, and call the police and the police will seize that person's vehicle. If we keep our village clean, then others will also not litter there,' said Sawant. Sawant said that garbage collection is not meant only for waste, but any items one wants to discard. 'People are in the habit of handing over only waste for garbage collection. Anything you want to discard qualifies as waste, including furniture. Do not dump it by the sides of the road. You hand over all the things you want to discard. From waste too, money can be generated. The contractor will see what has to be done with it. You don't worry about it. Let the contractor and panchayat worry about it,' said Sawant. Sawant also said that reviving agriculture and keeping it alive in places where cultivation is carried out is vital to help fight climate change. 'Keeping agriculture going is very important for sustainability. Today, there is unprecedented increase in heat. We are all responsible for it. Do not hold govt alone responsible for it. To maintain the balance, keeping agriculture alive is also very important,' said Sawant.
