BMC urges agencies to clear piled-up construction debris
Bhubaneswar: The works department, Water Corporation of Odisha (Watco), power distribution company and even Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) are among the agencies responsible for piling up of construction and demolition materials on several roads leading to public inconvenience, officials said. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now For piling up of construction and demolition (C&D) waste, BMC has a provision to impose fines. It also charges the cost of removal of C&D waste on individuals and institutions. "During my recent field visits, I saw that several agencies are piling up waste on roads and along roadsides. This practice poses a risk to commuters and affects the aesthetic beauty of the city. We will sensitise all the stakeholders carrying out various construction once again. If agencies do not adhere to the norms after that, they will be penalised, and the cost of lifting the waste will be recovered from them," said BMC commissioner Chanchal Rana. BMC officers said that according to the rules, waste generated through construction, repair, remodelling and demolition of private and govt establishments, households, roads and drains, should be handled properly to avoid litter. However, it has been observed that most govt establishments disregard the norms despite awareness drives being conducted before the launch of a special campaign from July 1, 2023. "The special drive against C&D waste is ongoing, and multiple squads are engaged in enforcing it," Rana added. A BMC squad is authorised to impose a penalty of Rs 5,000 on the owners of C&D waste. In addition, if the BMC removes the waste using its own tractor, it charges Rs 4,500 per trip. BMC has also earmarked designated dumping places, which have been identified based on the requirement of a particular place, such as low-lying areas and mine voids. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now For the designated dumping station, BMC has allowed people to transport the C&D waste instead of the civic body seizing the litter and penalising people. However, people are hardly implementing this practice. Debabrata Mohanty, managing director of Watco, said instructions have been issued to all general managers to oversee the removal of C&D waste from roads without further delay. "If waste is still piled up on the roads, BMC can identify those places and let us know, and we will remove them at our own cost," he told TOI.
