Spitting Proves Costly For 12 Persons At Block Development Office In Odisha’s Jajpur

Jajpur: Following an inspection drive by Korei block administration, 12 persons were slapped with a fine for allegedly spitting pan and gutka and littering the development office in Odisha’s Jajpur district.

According to sources, a team of administration staff kept an eye on public behaviour at different places on directions of the block development officer (BDO) Ranjan Kumar Parida on Thursday and scanned the CCTV footage to track down the culprits.

“We exercised stricter vigilance and slapped fine on the 12 persons who were caught spitting at the BDO office premises despite repeated warnings not to damage public space,” the BDO told the media.

It is pertinent to mention here that the block administration had conducted various measures for public awareness on sanitation and cleanliness on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti.
