Chandigarh, December 9:-* In a firm enforcement action, the Municipal Corporation Chandigarh has issued two challans of ₹13,401 each after two tippers of administration were caught red-handed dumping construction and demolition (C&D) waste mixed with litter on the Dadumajra administration land. The malba had reportedly been transported from Sector 25. The concerned team immediately alerted the police, and strict action has been initiated against the violators.
MC Commissioner Sh. Amit Kumar, IAS, has taken serious note of the incident and issued a stern warning to all contractors, drivers, helpers, and field staff involved in waste transportation. The Commissioner stated that under no circumstances will illegal dumping, mixing of waste streams, or misuse of municipal vehicles be tolerated. He directed that all C&D waste must be transported only to designated recycling and processing facilities, and any deviation will attract heavy challans, suspension, and possible legal action.
He further emphasized that municipal employees and outsourced workers must uphold the highest standards of discipline and accountability, and any lapse directly undermines the city’s cleanliness efforts. The Commissioner has instructed supervisory officers to strengthen monitoring, install GPS-based surveillance on vehicles, and ensure strict compliance with waste management protocols.
