Bhubaneswar: Anyone found spitting on recently-inaugurated swanky BMC- Intelligent City Operations and Management Centre (ICOMC) tower, already spoiled by paan and gutkha stains, on Janpath road in Odisha capital will be slapped a fine of Rs 1,000.

The penal action will be more stringent for staff working in the tower, Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) commissioner Vijay Amruta Kulange told the media.
