Penalty For Street Cleaning

A couple in the UK have been slapped with a 1,200 pound (Rs1,30,079) fine by their local council after they tidied up the rubbish outside their home.

Maharashtra Health Minister Deepak Sawant has proposed changes to the punishment for those caught spitting tobacco on the streets in the state. Apart from a hefty increase in the fine, Mr Sawant has also proposed to add eight hours of community service, by cleaning government offices and public hospitals, to the penalties for spitting.
