Ludhiana: The municipal corporation has officially launched the Buddha Nullah cleanliness drive on Monday, which will continue for the next 15 days with the help of NSS/NCC volunteers from seven colleges of the city. These volunteers will knock at the doors of people living in the colonies along the banks of the drain and would make them aware that a Rs 5,000 penalty would be imposed for throwing garbage into the drain and if anybody was caught burning garbage near the drain, then the penalty would be between Rs 5,000 to Rs 25,000. Moreover, now the civic body authorities are planning to get FIRs registered against offenders. There is a target to make Buddha Nullah garbage free by January 26, 2021.
