Lucknow: The Yogi Adityanath government has amended the rules to improve cleanliness and hygiene from big cities to small towns in Uttar Pradesh. Now a provision has been made for imposing heavy fines on those who spread garbage in public places.
Apart from coughing up fines ranging from Rs 500 to Rs 3,000, people will also have to pay a fee for picking up the garbage. Under the new amended rules, if a person has a dog or any other pet, then it will be his or her responsibility to immediately clean whenever it defecates in a public place. Failure to do so will attract a fine of up to Rs 500.

Apart from this, it has now been made mandatory to keep the garbage coming out of the homes or commercial establishments in three different dustbins - organic, inorganic and hazard waste. All residential premises, resident welfare associations and other related people or institutions, where excessive amount of garbage is generated, will also have to keep separate dustbins.
After doing any event or function, the organisers will have to clean up the place. There will also be a ban on throwing garbage in the drains. Besides this, all building owners will have to make their own arrangements for collection of garbage.
