“The owners/occupiers of vacant plots in the city will ensure that the piles of garbage, dirt and stagnant rainwater in their vacant plots are immediately cleaned at their own level. It should be ensured that a solid wall or fencing is installed around the vacant plot owned/occupied by them so that garbage is prevented from accumulating in the plot,” an administration official said about the order issued in exercise of the powers vested in her under Section 163 of the Indian Citizens Safety Act, 2023,
