To address the issue of garbage dumping on roadsides, highways, public paths and main drainage in rural as well as urban areas of District and nuisance caused by dumping of garbage, District Magistrate Doda Vishesh Paul Mahajan today imposed Section 133 of Cr.PC in the district.
After multiple campaigns / announcements and personal interactions but seeing less participation of the public, the order has been issued. The door to door collection has been started and segregation pits are being constructed. Dustbins have been placed and augmented. The order has been issued with sole objective of making Doda garbage free.
The order reads that District Magistrate, Doda, by virtue of powers vested under Section 133 Cr.PC, do hereby order all the residents of the District to remove garbage/avoid dumping of garbage on any Public places viz streets, roads, roadsides, open grounds, nallahs, river/riverside or any other place covered under the definition of public place and ensure to dump the garbage only at places specified by the concerned Municipal bodies or Block Sanitation Officers/ Panchayts or handover the garbage to the door to door collectors only. Any violation in this behalf shall be dealt under the relevant section of law.
It is to mention here that, dumped garbage is a breeding place for mosquitoes and many other disease carrying vectors which is a cause of great concern as they may spread many communicable and non- communicable diseases.
Dumping of garbage alongside of the roads and in the drains result in blockage of the drainage system causing nuisance and hindrance to the smooth movement of the Public.
