Kudos to Mumbai! Spitting on streets could now cost a person an arm and a leg as the state cabinet on Tuesday approved a newfangled law that employs both monetary punishment and compulsory community service.
When a citizen spits on the road for the first time, he would have to pay Rs 1,000 as fine and spend a day to do social work at a public hospital or a government office. A second-time offender will have to pay Rs 3,000 plus three-day community service, and frequent offenders Rs 5,000 plus five-day service respectively. The amount collected in fines will be used only for healthcare services.
This we think is a clever move by the government in preserving the public hygiene.
Could there be another innovative way to do away with this?
