Dustbin will be compulsorily installed in every commercial vehicle from today in Himachal.
In Himachal Pradesh, it has been made mandatory to keep dustbin in all commercial vehicles from today. Commercial vehicles that do not apply them will be fined up to Rs 10,000. Similarly, a person who will be caught throwing garbage here and there will have to pay a fine of Rs 1500. But
,
Let us know that every year in Himachal, one and a half crore to two crore tourists arrive to visit the mountains. Most of these tourists fall in taxi, tempo or Volvo buses. In such a situation, everyone will have to make a habit of not spreading garbage in Himachal. Tourists usually throw garbage at tourist destinations.
There was no provision for action on this earlier. But now the government has made a provision of penalty in the Himachal Pradesh Non Biogradable Garbage Control Act formed in 1995. Therefore, now the mistake of spreading garbage will be heavy for local people including tourists.
After many crowds at the tourist places of Himachal, all -round such dirt is seen. After putting garbage bins, local people, including tourists, will also have to throw garbage in it.
Transporters from outside states running commercial vehicles coming to Himachal will also have to enter Himachal with garbage bins. The pockets will have to be loosened if you do not apply garbage bins. The amount of fine will be recovered from the taxi driver, not from the tourist riding in the taxi.
Garbage bins compulsory for these trains
Director of Environment Department DC Rana said, Garbage Bins have been made mandatory in all commercial vehicles. Garbage Binns will have to be installed in all commercial vehicles (all vehicles carrying Mal Alas), including taxi number, Tempo Traveler Private Buses, Government Buses of Himachal and outside states, Volvo buses.

He said, personal vehicle has been exempted. Commercial vehicles can also be brought under its purview in the coming days. Its purpose is to stop the dirt spreading at mountains and tourist destinations and protect the environment. He said, the government has authorized officers of all departments for invoices. That is, officers of any department of Himachal government will be able to challan it.

The state government is also going to launch a mobile app for this. With the help of this app, departments will not have trouble in challan and will not require challan book.
Now throwing garbage at tourist destinations of Himachal will be fined up to Rs 1500
Plastic restrictions in Himachal pre -ban
Let us know that the Himachal government has already banned colorful polythene envelopes, single use plastic, non -canal plastic bags with more than 60 GSM thickness. In January 1999, colorful polythene envelopes were banned in January 1999.
Himachal became the first state to ban polythene bags with less than 70 microns on June 2004. On 2 October 2009, polythene bags were completely banned. After this, single use plastic was banned.
