Chandigarh is one of the most beautiful cities in India but day by day people are making the beautiful city dirty. Why is the city becoming dirty?

Due to the littering of waste here and there the city is becoming very much dirty. Littering is not a cause but it is a major concern all over the world. Recently, the sanitation department of Chandigarh has taken strict actions. The Municipal Corporation of Chandigarh said that we are going to impose littering charges. Around Rs. 10,000 fine will be imposed on the people who will litter waste.

In September 2018, the city administration of Chandigarh Solid Waste management suggested taking heavy fines for the offenders. The littering fine was Rs. 500 but now it has revised to 5,000 for the house owners and 10,000 for the business owners.
