It is installing CCTV cameras equipped with loudspeakers that sound alarms at GVPs. This initiative aims to deter illegal dumping and impose penalties on those who violate rules. Along with CCTV cameras, loudspeakers are also being set up. When citizens dump garbage at ponds, a system emits a siren-like sound. A voice note will play, video of throwing garbage will be recorded to levy penalties.

It has been observed that people in various areas are throwing garbage in open places instead of handing it over to the Swachh auto workers to avoid payment. As a result, garbage is piling up in open places, roadsides, and GVPs.
