Mission Clean Ayodhya: Municipal Corporation Issues Notices to 30 Major Establishments for Waste Management
This is an important alert for residents and businesses in Ayodhya. If you are throwing household or shop waste outside, it’s time to be cautious. The Municipal Corporation, which has been consistently spreading awareness about cleanliness, has now decided to take strict action.
Simply advising people is no longer enough—violators will now face direct fines. Under the new system, along with awareness campaigns, those who dump garbage from homes or shops on public roads, spread litter, or urinate in open spaces will be penalized. The fines will range from ₹100 to ₹500.
For a long time, the Municipal Corporation has been urging people not to throw waste on the streets, to use dustbins, and to avoid open defecation. However, many are still not taking these instructions seriously. Authorities have now decided that the time for warnings is over. Recently, notices were issued to 30 major establishments—including hotels, malls, hospitals, and homestays—regarding proper waste management practices.
Strict Action Against Small Shopkeepers Too
The crackdown will also extend to common citizens and small shopkeepers. Municipal teams will regularly monitor markets, streets, and public places. Anyone found dumping waste along roadsides will be fined between ₹100 and ₹500 on the spot. Similarly, individuals caught urinating in public will also face immediate penalties.
Mukesh Srivastava, an environmental enthusiast from Balkaram Colony, welcomed the decision but emphasized the need for strong monitoring. He said that keeping Ayodhya clean is not just the responsibility of the Municipal Corporation but of every citizen. Ansh Kapoor, a student from Chowk, also supported the move, stating that awareness campaigns alone were not enough.
Cleanliness Is No Longer Optional, It’s Mandatory
Additional Municipal Commissioner Bharat Bhargava stated that cleanliness is no longer a choice but a necessity, which is why fines have been introduced as a final measure. Awareness campaigns will continue alongside stricter enforcement. Efforts are also being made to improve waste collection systems, and a 200 metric ton capacity solid waste management plant will soon be operational.
This initiative marks a significant step toward making Ayodhya cleaner and more sustainable.
