Karachi: (Pakistan Point News - 27th Feb, 2018) : The Sindh government will proceed against those littering the city's public places, bazaars and roads. A notification issued by the Sindh home department on states, anyone found dumping garbage on public property will be prosecuted. While the department's attempts to clear trash piles from Karachi and Hyderabad have not been as successful as anticipated, especially considering the political spats and rising costs, it has, however, banned littering in places that are not designated garbage dumps.
Further, the notification added that action will also be taken against anyone who resorts to burning rubbish piles in the city's public places, bazaars or roads. The dumping of trash in open areas does not only pollute the environment but also affect the health of those living there, stated the notification. The water commission appointed on the orders of Supreme Court had taken notice of industrial, medical and domestic waste being dumped in open areas.
