Besides levying a fine of Rs 200, the BMC plans to monitor nullahs using CCTVs, in an attempt to stop people from clogging them with garbage and plastic. Civic officials pointed out that this is the main reason for flooding in several parts of the city.

As per orders for this from the municipal commissioner, the civic administration has now also decided to create public awareness so garbage is not dumped in nullahs. Strict action will be taken against those who dump garbage in them and as per the municipal bye-laws, Rs 200 will be levied more effectively, said officials.
