Mumbai: In Mumbai, those washing cars in public places may have to pay a fine of Rs 1,000 or those throwing chickpeas on the road may have to pay a fine of Rs 500. To curb pollution in the city, an army of clean-up marshals has once again been deployed on the roads to collect prompt fines from guilty citizens.
Earlier during the Corona period, there were cases of clean up marshals intimidating citizens or charging more than the stipulated amount. These marshals were withdrawn due to heavy criticism. But, now the municipality has put these marshals on the road again.
On the very first day of this system, which was started after a gap of two years, a fine of Rs 2,000 was collected from 15 citizens in the fort area. These marshals have been deployed in A ward of the Fort on an experimental basis.
This time the municipality has digitalized the process of collecting fines through clean up marshals. Each marshal will have a Bluetooth enabled printer and will also issue fine receipts on the spot. The fine amount will be deposited in the marshal's account. Half the amount will be given to the contractor and half to the municipality.
