No More Dumping! CCTVs Target Panchkula's Trash Hotspots
17 Sep
Summary
- 17 garbage vulnerable points identified for CCTV surveillance.
- Violators face fines from Rs 500 up to Rs 5,000.
- Cameras will also monitor waste transport vehicles.
Panchkula is enhancing its waste management strategy by deploying CCTV cameras across 17 identified garbage vulnerable points (GVPs) throughout the city. This measure is designed to deter illegal dumping and uphold cleanliness standards. Residents caught discarding waste at these locations will be subject to penalties, with fines escalating from Rs 500 to Rs 5,000 based on the severity of the offense.
Beyond penalizing offenders, the new surveillance system will also monitor waste transportation vehicles. This allows the Municipal Corporation to track vehicle trips and verify that unauthorized vehicles are not disposing of prohibited waste, such as biomedical or construction debris. The initiative addresses ongoing issues with public dumping and the unsanitary conditions created by discarded food for stray animals.
