Rs. 10,000 fine if one discharge boring materials in drain: GMC

The Corporation has tweeted saying that it has been the Corporation's endeavor to keep the city clean and in a bid to ensure that its efforts are not defeated, it has decided to impose the penalty on all those people who dump manufacturing or industrial waste in the drains.

GMC has posted phone numbers in its tweet and has requested Guwahatians to lodge their complaints or share information about people found doing the same.

The Corporation has sought peoples' help in keeping the city streets and drains garbage-free.

GMC Commissioners have been requesting city residents and business establishments not to throw garbage or polythene bags on the streets or the drains. This often results in clogging the drains and flooding of city roads as soon as there are rains.

While several citizens have welcomed the decision to impose a fine, some have pointed to the fact that municipal workers take many days to clear the garbage.
