The Municipal Council (MC) authorities on Saturday launched a special drive against those spreading garbage and using single-use plastic items in the city.

During the drive, the MC officials took action against individuals found dumping garbage on roads and in public places, as well as those using banned plastic materials. A total of 50 violators were fined and a penalty of nearly Rs 17,000 recovered from them.

Appealing to the public, he urged citizens not to litter in public places and to support the administration in maintaining cleanliness across the city.

Cooperate with the administration to keep Rewari clean and hygienic,” he appealed to the people.
