Inspections between July 25 and August 11 found fewer than the contracted 76 door-to-door waste collection vehicles on many days, attracting a fine of ₹9,95,040. Another notice cited a shortage of 26 tractor-trolleys and 286 sanitation workers, leading to an additional ₹2,05,426 in penalties. Combined with a Zone-4 penalty of ₹5,30,943 imposed in July, the documented total against the agency now stands at ₹17,31,409. The agency’s name has been withheld as it did not respond to queries. MCG officials said the action aims to enforce accountability and ensure uninterrupted waste collection across the city. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
