Singapore smoker fined $15,000 for throwing butts out of window.. Where is our Swatchh Bharat taking us ??????? Singapore has fined a smoker S$19,800 ($15,000) for throwing cigarette butts out of his flat window, the National Environment Agency said, the highest ever such fine. The man was fined S$600 per cigarette for the first 33 offences, and ordered to do community service for the 34th, all committed within four days, the agency said. The 38-year-old smoker, who was caught on surveillance camera, will have to clean a public area for five hours wearing a bright vest bearing the words "Corrective Work Order". Singapore, famous for its cleanliness, cracks down hard on even minor crimes like littering and vandalism, which is punishable by caning, and bans the import of chewing gum, in part to keep its public areas spotless. The agency said on its website it deployed surveillance cameras at nearly 600 locations and took 206 enforcement actions against offenders for high-rise littering in 2014. It did not say which floor the smoker lived on. Vidya Sagar Arora more

Fitness certificates can be obtained even when vehicles are not perfectly fit for the road. 11) Open Garbage Dumps causing fouls smell & bad air quality 12) Lack of awareness among the masses towards the importance & need to maintain a clean & pollution free environment. 13) Public transport system is not good enough so people prefer using their own vehicles. (Metro Feeder services are rather poor. Last mile connectivity is not provided). 14) Adultration of petrol / diesel also leads to higher pollution levels 15) Un-controlled / un-authorized construction leading to cramping of spaces. Environment is sans proper sunlight / air circulation 16) Use of Pressure Horns / modified mufflers cause sound pollution thus vitiating the environment more
