The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) is going to invite public opinion on an anti-littering law, which has been sent back by the Delhi government for this purpose before it is implemented. Under the law, fines for offences like spitting, littering and urinating in public among others will be increased sub- stantially.
"We will issue a public notice inviting the opinion of Delhiites on the anti-littering law. We had sent it to Delhi government for approval and were asked to first invite people's views on the law," said a senior MCD official.
"We want to implement the law before the Games to deter people from littering the city," the official added. Under the antilittering law, spitting, defecating and bathing in public places would invite hefty penalties from the munic- ipal inspectors who would challan people on the spot. The fines would vary between Rs 200 and Rs 500.
