Dumping construction waste on roads to invite ₹1 lakh fine from AMC
Updated: Nov 22nd, 2024
A new rule has been implemented under a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) by Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC), prohibiting the disposal of construction waste on the streets.
As per the SOP, the construction waste must be disposed of in designated plots. Those violating the rule will face fines ranging from ₹25,000 to ₹1 lakh.
AMC has identified 25 plots across 7 zones in the city for the collection and recycling of construction waste.
Citizens are required to transport their construction waste to these designated plots at their own expense. However, there will be no charge from the AMC for depositing waste at these plots.
If citizens are unable to transport the waste themselves, they can contact the CCRS (Comprehensive Complaint Redressal System) at 155303 to request a pickup, for which they will have to pay a fee.
This rule will apply to all construction projects in the city, whether government or private.
To monitor cleanliness and ensure no demolition waste is left on the streets, special squads will be deployed in the 7 zones of the city.
Additionally, after work on roads for gas connections, electricity, telephone lines, etc., approved by the engineering department, service provider agencies will have to ensure that no soil or debris remains on the roads.
