This digital initiative has been taken as a part of a stringent enforcement drive.

GCC has recently taken a firm stance against waste dumping in both public and private properties.

Individuals who illegally dump waste will face a fine of Rs 5,000, a significant increase from the previous fine of Rs 500.
