MUMBAI, May 15 -- It was a small group that assembled for the town hall organised by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Wednesday, to discuss the suggestions and objections to its draft bye-laws for waste management. While most of the residents were against the imposition of a user fee for garbage collection, others insisted on hefty fines for violation of SWM rules. Residents said that since citizens already pay property tax, it is unfair to charge an additional feel for garbage collection. Siddhesh Pangam, a Bandra East resident said, "Some people care about money and some don't, but more than that, there should be shame attached to littering and splitting." He said, those who spit in public should be asked to clean it. Karan Shah, a resident of Sion, asked how penalties would be enforced. "There are no clean-up marshals at present but we can identify hot spots where people throw garbage via CCTV. Dustbins can be placed at these spots; should people still litter, it would be easy to penalise them." Some residents steered the discourse towards segregation. "At times, the garbage collectors themselves do not know how to segregate waste, so they must be trained. Even citizens are not able to segregate household waste and must be educated on this," said Neeta Sukthankar, a resident of Walkeshwar. Arnavaz Bulsara, a resident of Dadar Parsi Colony, said people may not be motivated to segregate waste as they don't know the end result. "We see segregated waste being dumped together in the garbage trucks. It must be collected separately. Also, citizens should be educated on how it was recycled and the end product." Deputy municipal commissioner Kiran Dighavkar said a door-to-door awareness campaign and more result-oriented awareness will be considered....
