Spitting in a public place is a punishable offence. However, fines are rarely levied upon the culprits. Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) data reveals that only 967 actions were taken against people for spitting in public from January 2024 to December 2024. In 2023, the PMC took action against 1,248 people, while in 2022, action was taken against only 138 violators. In 2021, there were 737 actions, and in 2020, 1,650 actions were recorded.
Sandip Kadam, head of PMC's solid waste management department, told The Free Press Journal, "We have collected a fine of ₹9,75,000 in 2024, and we will be increasing surveillance in the most congested areas of the city, such as Peth areas, signals and chowks, where it is difficult to catch hold of violators."
