Authorities of Prayagraj Municipal Corporation (PMC) have decided to tighten noose around those who throw household waste on roads and streets despite repeated warnings. PMC is identifying the households, which litter waste in their localities and around buildings and do not give it to agencies hired to collect waste from their houses. Now a plan is being made to collect garbage fees along with house tax on such buildings.
Disposing of household items may appear innocuous, yet there are at least five items with notable environmental risks. Incorrectly disposing of these items can result in penalties or, in severe instances, imprisonment.
