Mohali: In a bid to ensure cleanliness and prevent disease outbreaks during the ongoing monsoon season, the Mohali administration has launched a major crackdown on illegal garbage dumping in vacant plots across the district.
Acting on the orders of the district magistrate, authorities have identified 689 violations in the first phase and served 367 notices to violators so far.
Deputy commissioner Komal Mittal said that as per a prohibitory order issued on June 26, all vacant plot owners were directed to clear garbage and waste from their properties. The order also mandates the construction of boundary walls or fencing to prevent further illegal dumping.
The drive, led by local bodies in Derabassi, Zirakpur, Kharar, Banur, Lalru, Kurali, Gharuan, and Nayagaon, has resulted in the issuance of 367 notices. In Derabassi, a single violator was fined Rs 37,000 by the municipal council, while 81 additional challans have led to fines totalling Rs 49,000 across the district.
Commending the swift action by municipal councils, DC Mittal urged the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (Gmada) and the municipal corporation Mohali to intensify similar enforcement efforts.

She emphasised that tackling the issue of waste dumping is critical for preventing foul odour and reducing health hazards, especially the risk of vector-borne diseases during the rainy season.
Legal notices have been served under multiple provisions, under sections 292 and 293 of the Punjab Municipal Act, 1976; under Section 15 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986; under Municipal Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016 and Section 163 of the BNSS.
Plot owners have been directed to immediately clean their properties and construct boundary walls. In cases of non-compliance, government agencies will carry out the cleaning and recover the cost from the property owners. Failure to pay may result in red entries in land records and legal action, including police involvement.
"The campaign is part of our broader commitment to public health and environmental protection," DC Komal Mittal said, urging citizens to cooperate in maintaining a clean and hygienic environment across the district.

Changing City: A twin cable-stayed bridge at Mumbai's Dadar to begin operations next year
The construction of a twin cable-stayed bridge at Mumbai's Dadar is progressing fast to replace the 100-year-old Tilak Bridge, which is a primary east-west connector, according to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). The British-era Tilak Bridge, built in 1925, was declared dilapidated in a structural audit that was carried out in 2019, following which the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) had proposed the construction of a new bridge. The new bridge will be a cable-stayed structure that is being built parallel to the old Tilak Bridge, which will remain intact till the new bridge is built to ensure traffic movement is not affected. It is only after the new bridge is opened that the old structure will be pulled down by the authorities. The new bridge will be 600 metres long and will comprise six vehicular lanes. The twin bridges are being constructed in two phases, with each part having a width of 16.7 metres. The new superstructure will be wider when compared with the old structure and will allow a larger number of vehicles to pass at any given time. The bridge is being constructed in two phases. The first phase is expected to be completed by April 2026. This phase will include three vehicular lanes and will cater to both east-west traffic. Once this portion is ready, the old bridge will be pulled down in a systematic manner, and the second phase will be built in over 18 more months. The overall structure, comprising six vehicular lanes, will be ready by 2028. As of today, all the foundation work of the bridge has been completed, while the girder launching and superstructure work are in progress. The bridge is being constructed by BMC and Maharashtra Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation (MRIDC). The total cost of this project has been pegged at Rs 375 crore. 'The construction of the new bridge is being planned and executed strategically so that the existing traffic movement is not disrupted. Once the bridge becomes operational, it will improve traffic movement and will also enhance the appeal of this place. During Ganeshotsav, this bridge is also frequented by devotees and pedestrians, and considering the poor health of this bridge, we issue safety guidelines every year; therefore, a new bridge is of utmost requirement,' said Abhijit Bangar, additional municipal commissioner (Projects).

Zodiac signs that find it hard to accept mistakes
I observe four individuals in a dimly lit study. Their expressions and postures convey stubbornness, pride, intensity, and detachment. Making mistakes feels terrible and not accepting it is the sign of stubborness. Some signs can find it tough to admit when they make mistakes. While everyone is different, certain signs are known for having a bit of trouble saying sorry. 1. Leo Leos like to be confident, and saying sorry can be hard for them. They feel proud and don't want to admit when things go wrong. Showing they made a mistake can be a bit tricky for these lions. 2. Aries Arians are bold and love challenges. Saying sorry might feel like they're not winning, and they don't like that feeling. Their adventurous spirit can make it hard for them to admit when they make a mistake. 3. Sagittarius Sagittarians are always looking at the bright side. Admitting mistakes might feel like a downer for them. They prefer to focus on the next exciting thing rather than dwelling on errors. 4. Gemini Geminis are quick thinkers, and saying sorry might make them feel misunderstood. They don't like being seen as wrong, so they sometimes find it easier to avoid admitting mistakes. 5. Scorpio Scorpios like to be in control, and saying sorry can feel like losing control. Their secretive nature makes it challenging for them to show vulnerability and admit when they've made a mistake. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Urban Ascent by Emaar- RERA Registered project @ ₹5.25 Cr* Emaar India Get Quote Undo These signs having difficulty saying sorry is just one way to look at things.
