This initiative is part of a broader campaign to promote water conservation amid growing concerns over water scarcity and environmental sustainability.

The enforcement teams from the Municipal Corporation were deployed across the city to identify and penalize instances of water misuse, such as the inappropriate use of drinking water for washing cars, watering gardens during non-permitted hours, and other forms of wastage. The actions taken on the first day signal a firm stance against water wastage practices that have become all too common.

Details of the Crackdown:

• Notices Issued: 57 individuals and establishments received notices for their first offenses related to water wastage.
• Fines Levied: 12 fines were imposed on repeat offenders, demonstrating the Municipal Corporation’s commitment to enforcing the rules strictly.
• Penalty Amounts: Fines varied, with penalties intended to be severe enough to deter future violations.

As the campaign continues, the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation remains vigilant, with further actions planned in the coming days to address any ongoing issues of water wastage. This initiative not only highlights the local government’s proactive approach to environmental management but also sets a precedent for other cities facing similar challenges.
