BMC directs fish, meat & poultry vendors to adopt strict waste management practices

Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation mandates strict waste management for fish, meat, and poultry vendors by February 1, 2026. This aims to curb foul odours, improve hygiene, and crucially, prevent bird-hit risks at Biju Patnaik International Airport. Vendors must use biodegradable bags and leak-proof bins, with non-compliance leading to severe penalties.
