NMMC warns Navi Mumbai residents to segregate garbage or face penalties
A society as a whole would have to bear the brunt of anybody who fails to separate garbage at the source. The solid waste management division of the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has started fining organisations and businesses that do not separate their rubbish. The civic department has started enforcing the Solid Waste Management and Cleanliness and Sanitation Bye Laws – 2020 by charging a fee of $250 multiplied by the number of dwelling units in the community.
In the event of persistent non-segregation, the penalty will double. According to top sanitary authorities, the government has collected close to 30,000 in fines from societies and bulk garbage providers over the last two months for failing to provide separated waste.
“Ideally, citizens should participate and accept responsibility for the process of supplying only separated garbage in order to improve waste management at the disposal site. Penalizing noncompliant communities is one approach to encourage them to take trash segregation seriously, according to DMC Solid Waste Management D. Rajale.
Two bulk garbage producing societies have received fines from the Belapur and Nerul sanitation departments in the past week alone. “A 12-story building in Sector 19 in Nerul was fined $3,000 because it failed to supply separated garbage despite receiving several notices and even direct instructions to do so.
Every home should ideally be compelled to have separate containers for dry and moist garbage, although this is not always done. As a result, the societies produce mixed rubbish, which NMMC would no longer collect moving forward, according to Rajendra Ingale, the ward’s sanitation inspector.
The sanitation agency is developing a strategy to tackle the source segregation work at full speed. Along with emphasising the 3Rs — Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle — this also entails decentralising rubbish disposal.
Penalizing the entire society is one of the activities that must be carried out severely. Errant societies are continually informed of the standards for segregating garbage, and any still caught doing so carelessly will now be penalised. “In the last month alone, we have sent over a hundred notifications to organisations who were deemed to be deficient in their waste segregation practises. Also, the garbage collection trucks sent door-to-door have been directed not to pick up non-segregated rubbish. The organisations who have already received the letters must genuinely address segregation or prepare to pay significant penalties, according to a representative from the Vashi ward office.

On Wednesday, hours of traffic jams caused by major delays in Majiwada Overbridge repair work caused inconvenience to commuters in Thane and irritated both residents and drivers from outside the city.
The repairs were supposed to be finished between April 16 and 17, but obstacles caused the closure to go far into the afternoon. This unanticipated delay made Majiwada’s already renowned traffic problems worse by causing extreme gridlock.
Since the continuing repair work blocked traffic from Ghodbunder to JNPT, Nashik, and Mumbai, the authorities had to stop the bridge climb in front of the Broadway Petrol Pump. Drivers were thus compelled to look for alternate routes, which increased the pandemonium on the highways.
The closure continued on Wednesday till 1 pm, despite efforts to reroute traffic via the slip lane in front of Majiwada Petrol Pump and Kapurbavadi Circle, making commuters’ problems with traffic more worse.
Although the Public Works Department (PWD) finished the bridge repairs by 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, the drying time of the poured cement caused an extra one to two hours of delay. As a result, the situation got worse as lengthy lines of cars extended from Ghodbunder to Thane and Mumbai, as well as from Kapurbavdi to Patlipad and the Mumbai-Nashik route to Dhokali Highland.
