No. 4739/OM/Rev./User Charges/2018.

Jawahar Nagar, the 19th November 2018.

NOTIFICATION

The cultural and civilizational rating of any section of the society

draws its weightage from the environmental back drop which gives a

thrust on sanitation and the green growth. Puducherry, in its four

enclaves, has a rich heritage with its historical tapestry of the colonial

French culture over centuries. The aspects of heritage with its

monuments and the present scenario have been attracting heavy inflow

of tourists perennially. Over the decades since independence, the

sleeping residential town has graduated with all urban characteristics

with a host of commercial and industrial enterprises.

[PART–II

The relevance of maintenance of absolute sanitation is a grass

root level function entrusted with Local Self Government, statutorily

and by convention. This message obtained the momentum and

national level importance with the launching of Swachh Bharat

Mission on 2nd October, 2014 to fulfill the dream of Mahatma Gandhi

targeting the achievement of total sanitation by 2nd October, 2019.

Total sanitation and attainment of a healthy environment through

the basic function of the Municipality is also the primary duty of every

citizen and binding on him with participatory functions and

responsibility. We shall achieve and ensure a clean hygienic environment

with the green growth making it beautiful and giving aesthetics and

peace of mind. The effective management of collection, transportation

and disposal of solid and semi-solid wastes from public premises as well

as private premises is a herculean task involving human effort as well

as mechanical assistance which calls for financial resources which in

turn sits with a heavy burden on the fiscal status of the Local Body

requiring it to mobilize additional source of income and therefore, this

introduction of the “Bye-laws for Levy of Collection Charges for Removal

of Solid Wastes from Residential and Non-residential Premises, 2017”.

The Authorised Officer who has been appointed by the Government

vide Notification issued in G.O. Ms. No. 34/LAS/A4/2015, dated

25-03-2015 of Local Administration Secretariat, Puducherry, to exercise

all the powers and duties conferred and imposed upon the Municipal

to door collection of wastes, its transportation and its disposal) on all

residential households and the non-residential buildings situated within
