Starting October 30, marshals across the city will record videos of people throwing garbage in public. Once identified, the offenders’ homes will be located, and the same garbage will be dumped outside their houses. To make sure the message hits hard, these actions will be recorded and posted on social media.

Previously, fines ranged between ₹500 and ₹2,000. But under the new system, the penalty will rise to ₹2,000-₹10,000, depending on the amount of waste. GBA officials say this is being done to discourage repeat offenders who continue to dump waste despite several warnings.
