NGT Penalizes Garbage Throwing from Balconies in Bhopal

The National Green Tribunal in Bhopal has said that throwing garbage from balconies and upper floors of buildings is against the law.

They told the Bhopal Municipal Corporation to fine people who do this.

The tribunal also said that keeping the city clean is not just the job of the BMC but also the residents and their associations.

They asked the BMC and the pollution control board to report back in three weeks.

The tribunal wants residents to use designated waste collection points and warned that if they don't, their associations will have to take the waste to the disposal site.

The BMC said they are working on fixing the sewage system in the affected areas.
