Mumbai BMC Implements Stricter Waste Management Bye-Laws With Increased Fines

Mumbai's city government, called the BMC, is making new rules about trash to help keep the city cleaner.

They are raising the fines for people who litter, throw trash in the wrong places, or burn garbage outside.

The old system with Clean-Up Marshals is being stopped.

Now, city engineers will be in charge of giving out these bigger fines.

For example, dumping building trash illegally will cost Rs.

20,000.

Big buildings that make a lot of trash also have to be more careful about separating their waste, or they will also get fined.

The goal is to stop people from making the city messy and to manage the large amount of trash generated every day.
