*Chandigarh, February 17:-* Acting firmly against littering in public spaces, the Municipal Corporation Chandigarh has challaned a tailor for illegally throwing waste at a public place in the ecologically sensitive area of Patiala Ki Rao, Dhanas.
During routine monitoring and inspection by the enforcement team of the Sanitation Wing, the individual was found disposing of garbage in the restricted stretch of Patiala Ki Rao. Taking immediate cognizance of the violation, the Municipal Corporation imposed a challan amounting to ₹14,071 under the relevant provisions of the Solid Waste Management Rules and the Municipal Corporation Act.
