Jaipur: The Rajasthan
capital's municipal body has ordered slapping of Rs.500 cash fine
on those who are found urinating or defecating at public places
here, officials said Friday.
Each junior rank officer has been given the target of fining at
least 20 people every day. The officials failing to meet the
target will be punished, they added.
"The practice of urinating at public places is quite rampant,
especially in the walled city areas which are popular among not
only domestic but also foreign tourists. The practice comes under
defacement of public properties and is strictly prohibited.
However, it goes on unabated," a senior Jaipur Municipal
Corporation (JMC) official told IANS.
The officer added that orders are issued from time to time to
prevent people from urinating in public, but they have failed to
yield any results.
"Now, a cash fine of Rs.500 will be slapped on a person who is
found violating the norms. We have constituted special JMC teams
to be on the vigil across the city," said the officer.
Targets have been given to the officers heading each JMC zone in
the city to make them serious about the drive, he added.
"Each Zonal Officer will have to fine at least 20 people in his or
her jurisdictional area. If the officer fails to meet the target,
disciplinary action will be taken. Targets are small, but the
punishment for a few offenders will spread the right message among
people," said the officer.
Sources in the JMC added that the orders have been issued also
keeping in view the upcoming Congress 'Chintan Shivir' that is to
be held here Jan 18-20.
The party is organising the 'shivir' to discuss the political and
economic situation and seek new ideas ahead of the next Lok Sabha
elections.
