Excerpts

 

"Spitting and urinating on Mumbai streets will attract a fine of 200 rupees. The fine amount gets steeper for cleaning cars on the road. People flouting this law will be fined a hefty 1000 rupees. The fine for feeding pets on the road is 500 rupees. "

Good.

What is the fine for blocking the road illegally (this should apply to all Dharnas, Morchas, etc)? Let us see then try and collect this from - you know who and his goons.

Fine for cleaning a car on the road !!!!

Crazy but sounds reasonably excellent on paper.

But, what about the fine on illegal parking of cars, trucks, buses and lorries on the road ? No fine for such offences ? At any time of the day, half of all roads in Mumbai and Delhi are used for parking of cars.

This should have been done decads ago! Still a good step, should be followed up in other States too.

Ahh yes. And this is not on Paper. People Do actually get fined. My Neighbor Did. But this happens only when the municipal officers havent had their weekly quota of bribes filed.

Cyrus! you are 100% right. It happens when their pockets are empty and moreover, they actually book a case sometimes to show a record to the department. It happens all the time in Chennai.

Its good to see these norms and hope they are adapted in every state and followed strigently

I understand people should not be washing their cars on the road. But fining them for making money is simply ridiculous.
