The AMC through Nagrik Mitra Pathak (NMP) took action against people for spitting in public places, throwing garbage on roads, misusing tap water, using banned manja, using banned plastic carry bags of less than 50 microns, storing building material on roads obstructing traffic, etc.
It may be noted that NMP comprises ex-servicemen and is headed by Pramod Jadhav. They were deployed to bring discipline among the citizens. Moreover, the NMP also played a vital role in taking action against persons moving around irresponsibly during the pandemic situation without wearing masks. The action taken report is submitted by the AMC's solid waste management cell to the administrator regularly.
