Port
Blair, Feb 5: The Port Blair Municipal Council (PBMC) has started door to door
collection of segregated waste to achieve 100% processing of waste by means of
waste transportation and proper disposal mechanism. In view of this, PBMC has
closed its dumping yard at Brookshabad to avoid dumping of mixed waste by waste
generators.
In
order to co-operate with PBMC, it is requested to all concerned, household and
all other establishments including educational institutions and banks to keep
at least 2 bins for segregated dry & wet waste and one bag for household
hazardous waste in their premises/establishments to support our municipal
workers in further segregation without any difficulties.
The
user charges against collection of waste by PBMC as per the provisions of
PBMC-Solid Waste Handling & Management (SWHM) Bye-Laws, 2017 will be collected
from each and every household and all other establishment. Incentives will be
given to those who will manage their waste 100% by their own.
In
order to maintain the city clean & swachh, all the officials not below the
rank of Sanitary Inspectors have been authorized to take action by penalizing
on the spot under the said bye-laws.
Any
kind of violation of Bye-Laws/ direction of PBMC will be viewed seriously and
necessary action will be initiated against the violators under PBMC-SWHM Bye
Laws, 2017. Repeated violation found will be punished and the water &
electricity connection will be disconnected without any notice and complaint
against the same will be lodged at nearest Police Station for onward
prosecution.
