Udupi: Authorities Warn of Strict Action Against Dumping Trash on Roads
 
Daijiworld Media Network - Udupi (VM)

Udupi, Jul 5: In an effort to keep the city clean in the wake of increase in the number of malaria, dengue and chikungunya cases, the municipal officials have issued a warning against those who throw trash on the roads or in drains.

In a media release, the municipality has warned of strict action against those throw garbage or litter the roads and drains.

The release stated that despite taking several measures to curb the spread of diseases and warning citizens not to empty trash in drains, people continue to do so.

Due to trash, tree branches and other rubbish in drains, the flow of rainwater is obstructed. The stagnant water thus becomes a breeding place for mosquitoes.

Strict action will be taken against those who litter the roads and drains with trash, as per clause 224 of the Karnataka Municipalities Act of 1964 regarding dumping of waste in public areas, the release stated.

    It is desireble that the authorities take action against the Highway authorities who are one of the major violators - In the name of widening the highway, the NHAI has left the roadside in complete with mud, slush, uprooted trees, etc, resulting in stagnant water all around. This surely is a breeding groung for mosquittoes. Let the Municipal Corporation identify the culprits who defy the orders and then go after the small violators.

    Mangalore is badly in need of this action to keep the city clean.Whoever throws garbage on the roads should be fined on the spot.
    Mini cranes to lift the dirt on the roads would be a better idea as it is done in other countries. This will even provide employment to the unemployed drivers.

    vnayak i totally agree your comments however the clearing the bins should be done everyday and not weekly if they don't clear everyday it will stink whole city. The government should educate public on how to use garbage bins and where to put the garbage no one use this practice in Mangalore before and people are not aware of the municipality law.

    Karnataka Municipalities Act-1964,
    Clause 224-Must be some'trashing' clause. Wonder how many are aware of it? Does it
    mention about any 'civic sense' or is it just trash?

    This action is also needed in Mmangalore. But the authorities should make sure that there are proper dustbins (and not century old concrete rings) on every road and that those bins are cleared every week once or twice.
