Chandigarh, 17.11.25-Kamaljit Singh Panchhi, President of the Chandigarh Traders Association, Sector 17, and Brand Ambassador of the Swachh Bharat Mission (MCC), has urged the citizens of Chandigarh to join hands with the Municipal Corporation in preserving the city’s reputation as one of the cleanest and most beautiful in the country. He appealed to all residents to take a firm pledge to help make Chandigarh garbage-free by refraining from littering on streets and public areas and by using dustbins responsibly.
Panchhi urged residents to take note that the Municipal Corporation Chandigarh has decided to actively involve citizens in curbing the rising problem of littering in public places. The MC has released a dedicated WhatsApp number — 9915762917 — where citizens can share photos or videos of individuals littering. To further encourage public participation, the corporation has also announced rewards for those who report such violations. Once an offender is identified, the concerned Sanitary Inspector will collect the litter thrown by the violator and return it to their residence, along with initiating the necessary legal action. No individual will be spared for deliberate littering.
