Disposing garbage in public place can make you pay a fine upto Rs 10,000

The National Green Tribunal (NGT) announced on Monday that people who dispose garbage at inappropriate places (open areas) will have to pay fine of Rs 10,000!
The green panel said that all authorities are under ‘statutory’ obligation to ensure that waste is properly ‘collected, transported and disposed of’ in accordance with Solid Waste Management Rules – 2016, so that it does not cause public health hazards. It also said that hotels, restaurants, slaughter houses, vegetable markets etc. who are major sources of municipal solid waste generation should be directed to provide segregated waste and handover the entire waste to the corporation in consonance with the rules and regulations.
A bench headed by NGT chairperson Justice Swatanter Kumar said, Any such body, person, hotels, residents, slaughter houses, vegetable markets etc. who do not comply with the directions or throw their waste in any water body, drain or at a public place shall be liable to pay environmental compensation of Rs 10,000 per default.
Commissioner of each city corporation have been directed to submit a scheme within a month’s time, before the Tribunal for providing incentive to the people who provide segregated waste, ‘by the way of rebate in property tax and on other hand to impose penalties on residents, societies, Resident Welfare Association (RWA) who do not provide segregated waste.’
The tribunal also made a note of the national capital, which generates 9,600 metric tonnes of municipal solid waste every day, and no municipal body has prepared a map with clarity to deal with such huge quantities of garbage.
Directions of fine of Rs 10,000 for littering, were put in action after the hearing the plea relating to the mismanagement of municipal solid waste in countrys capital and also because of the terrible conditions, which are ramped near the landfill sites.
The bench also stated that, It should be kept in mind that as per polluter pays principle, each person would be liable to pay for causing pollution, if the waste is generated. It is the duty of a each and every citizen to ensure that said waste is handled properly and not to cause any pollution or inconvenience to other people. The burden cannot be and should not be shifted on the state and authorities.

However, he threw these charges under the bus and said, I was looking for materials for a question I wanted to ask the government in question hour.
?When I was looking for question material, I deleted too many messages as my phone storage was full. What the media has shown or seen, I don’t know. I would never do such things or see such things, he added.
This was not the first time in Karnataka that such an incident had happened. Back in 2012, three Bharatiya Janata Party ministers were caught on camera allegedly watching adult content in the State Assembly. Following the scandal, they resigned from the state government due to public embarrassment.
