Minimum charges of Rs.1000/- per month should be abolished and bill should be raised on the basis of consumption in the meter. Memorandum copies attached.
In the second memorandum, it is submitted that user charges for door to door collection of garbage for Commercial Establishments, Shops have been mentioned a Rs.500/- per month at Sr. No.3 of Schedule-1 of Chandigarh Waste Management Bylaws 2018 irrespective of size of Shop. It should be rationalize and brought at par with the charges which traders are already paying to the shop to shop garbage collectors doing this job independently. It won’t be justified or practical to charge more for the same work being done earlier.
