PUDUKOTTAI: With a view to ensuring flow of storm water through the
drainage channels in major towns, the district administration has
drafted a plan. A. Suganthi, District Collector, held a meeting with
hoteliers and restaurant owners and sought their cooperation for garbage
management.
The Municipality would take all steps for immediate clearing of
garbage at thoroughfares and other important junctions where storm water
drains are located.
She said that the hoteliers and restaurants discharging huge volume
of garbage, should take up the responsibility of segregating it
bio-degradable and non-degradable ones, before handing over it to the
Municipal sanitary workers. The Municipality would initiate action
including imposing a fine or cancelling license to the hoteliers,
depending upon the nature and gravity of defiance of the above norms.
M.S. Muthusamy, Superintendent of Police; G.S. Ramadasu, District Revenue Officer were among those who were present.
