The Greater Chennai Corporation has increased the fines for illegal dumping of construction and demolition (C&D) waste. The new fines range from ₹1,000 to ₹5,000, depending on the severity of the violation. The Corporation has also allocated designated areas for the disposal of C&D waste and implemented stricter regulations for waste collection and transportation.

The Greater Chennai Corporation has taken a significant step to curb the rampant issue of illegal dumping of construction and demolition (C&D) waste. In a recent resolution, the Corporation has increased the maximum penalty for such violations to ₹5,000.

To ensure proper waste disposal, the Corporation has designated specific areas for C&D waste. Only registered vehicles and entities are permitted to access these sites. The move aims to prevent the dumping of waste in unauthorized locations, which often leads to environmental pollution and health hazards.

By implementing these stricter regulations, the Corporation hopes to promote sustainable waste management practices and create a cleaner and healthier city.
