Mumbai High Court pushes BMC to adopt stricter littering fines like Singapore

The Mumbai High Court has directed the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to formulate stricter regulations against littering, with penalties comparable to Singapore's enforcement model. The court's push comes as part of efforts to improve sanitation and civic discipline in the city.

The High Court has asked the BMC to consider implementing higher fines for littering violations, drawing inspiration from Singapore's well-known system of stringent penalties. This move aims to deter citizens from littering and encourage greater compliance with cleanliness norms in public spaces.
