PMC sets up special squads for addressing waste burning in Pune
PMC has set up ward wise special squads to address waste burning and dumping in the city. Each of the 15 administrative wards has been assigned with sqauds, with 2-3 people in each squad, divided into 2-3 shifts per day. The squad duty changes every day, with different people being assigned on different days of the week. For citizens who want to lodge complaints regarding dumping and burning, they will have to find out the relevant squad members on any given day and call them. Once the location and the problem is described, the squad is expected to reach the location and investigate the case, find the perpetrators and penalise them.
