The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) is set to take strict action against those violating sanitation norms, with the launch of a mobile app for imposing fines. Those caught littering, dumping waste into nalas, throwing debris in open spaces or water bodies, or failing to maintain proper waste disposal systems will face heavy penalties.
Officials have warned that fines will range from Rs.100 to Rs.10,000, depending on the offense. Vehicles used for illegal debris dumping will be seized, in addition to penalties. Public urination and improper garbage disposal on roads will also attract fines.
