Statement By Pollution Department
Manisha Pradhan, head of the Pollution Department, said that burning garbage in the open and lighting bonfires pollutes the air. The municipality will impose a fine of ₹5,000 in each such case and necessary legal action will also be taken. Lighting a bonfire to get warmth as the cold increases is necessary for many. The administration has warned that strict action by the municipality cannot be avoided if pollution is caused by burning garbage.
Four special squads ready
This smoke has a big impact on young children, senior citizens, and patients with asthma or lung disorders. Problems such as coughing, shortness of breath, chest infection, sore throat, and decreased oxygen levels can increase.
To prevent air pollution from increasing and to protect health, the municipality's pollution department has taken a strict stance. A direct fine of ₹5,000 will be imposed on those burning garbage as bonfires in the open. For this, four special squads have been prepared and will patrol various Prabhags (wards) to stop the burning of garbage.
