Stop dumping waste along Porompat DC Road at night, warns DC IE
Speaking on the occasion, Kh Diana Devi said that 'Swachhta hi Seva, 2021' has been launched to keep the Imphal East district clean.
She further maintained that the dust bins are kept at the road sides of Porompat DC road by Gram Panchayats so that the commuters along this road can throw waste materials.
Such bins are not kept to dump waste from households, shops, hotels etc which is a common practice especially during night time, she added.
The DC warned that if anyone is found dumping waste at night, they will be fined and appropriate actions will be taken up against them as per law.
Lastly she appealed to all to act as a responsible citizen and help in keeping our surroundings clean.
