BMC Launches Digital System to Track Construction Waste and Enforce Disposal Rules
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has launched the Mumbai Debris Control Tracking System (MDCTS), an online portal to monitor construction and demolition waste from generation to authorized disposal. The system covers residents, builders, government agencies, and contractors, requiring mandatory registration linked to project details. Vehicles transporting waste must have GPS tracking to prevent illegal dumping, with fines up to Rs 25,000 for violations. The initiative aims to improve waste management and reduce environmental harm in Mumbai.
