Rs 10,000 fine for littering in public place

-The Times of India

NEW DELHI: The National Green Tribunal has said a fine of Rs 10,000 would be imposed on any person or agency, government or private, found throwing garbage at a public place.

It said all authorities were under "statutory" obligation to ensure that waste was collected, transported and disposed of in accordance with the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016.

"Any person, hotel, resident, slaughter house, vegetable market etc that does not comply with the directions or throws waste over any drain or public place shall be liable to pay environmental compensation at the rate of Rs 10,000 per default," the NGT said. The bench, headed by NGT chairperson Justice Swatanter Kumar, said segregation of waste and disposal, depending on the type of waste, must be ensured. It was hearing a petition filed by Kudrat Sandhu against violation of waste management norms in the capital.
