In a stringent move to uphold the cleanliness and aesthetic integrity of Chandigarh, the Municipal Corporation Chandigarh has imposed a penalty of ₹5000 on Punjab and Sind Bank, Sector 17-B, under Rule 4 of the Solid Waste Management (SWM) Rules.

 The bank was found guilty of unauthorized stacking of construction and demolition (C&D) waste outside its premises without seeking prior permission, and for failing to clear the debris despite repeated reminders from the civic authorities.

This action was taken after multiple notices and verbal communications failed to elicit any response from the institution. The unattended waste not only posed a public nuisance but also undermined the civic body’s efforts to maintain a clean and garbage-free environment in the heart of the city.

MC Commissioner Sh. Amit Kumar,  IAS, has issued a stern warning to all violators, emphasizing that no individual or institution is above the law when it comes to maintaining public hygiene. He reiterated the Corporation’s zero-tolerance policy against non-compliance with the SWM Rules and called upon all stakeholders to act responsibly and in accordance with the prescribed waste disposal norms.

He said the beautification and cleanliness of Chandigarh cannot be compromised. He urged all citizens, institutions, and businesses to follow the Solid Waste Management Rules strictly. Those found violating will face strict penalties without exception,” the Commissioner said.

He said that the MCC will continue to monitor violations across the city, and such punitive actions will be taken wherever needed to enforce compliance and sustain Chandigarh’s cleanliness standards.
