Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) has lowered the daily spot fine collection goal from Rs 5,000 to Rs 3,000 for its health teams in 21 zones, according to the latest update. This change comes as many zones have been struggling to meet the higher target, with some even failing to collect the minimum Rs 1,500. The BMC health department has the authority to impose fines on violators of cleanliness and waste-management rules, including littering, improper waste disposal, and operating tandoors or furnaces at hotels.
The standard fine limit is up to Rs 10,000, though penalties of up to Rs 50,000 have been imposed in certain cases. BMC's additional commissioner Aman Mishra has directed assistant health officers to ensure the revised target is met.
