ITANAGAR, 21 Jan: The Itanagar Municipal Corporation (IMC) will impose penalty on those who litter public places, as per the court’s directives, informed IMC Commissioner Likha Tejji during the concluding day of the corporation’s month-long IEC campaign on solid waste management at Chandranagar and Gohpur markets on Saturday.
Addressing the public, Tejji informed that the campaign had been carried out following
the court’s directive to generate awareness on solid waste management before imposing penalties on defaulters.
