Civic body starts campaign to clear Chandigarh of piling rubble

CHANDIGARH: The municipal corporation launched a campaign to free the city of rubble on Monday.

Special teams have been constituted for the purpose. A flying squad comprising three members and a security guard will keep a check on the city round-the-clock. Residents renovating or constructing a house can call and pay MC to lift rubble. The violators will be fined. In case of government houses, the rubble should be lifted by government contractual employees, else challan will be issued to the authorities concerned.

The drive which kicked off from Sector 34 will also cover back lanes of houses and road gullies, besides villages and colonies.

JCB machines, rubble trucks and tractor trolleys, among others, will be put into service. Councillors will also create awareness in their areas to keep the city clean. The mayor said NGOs, trader associations, resident welfare associations, teachers, students and residents should take part in the campaign.
