The Commissioner further stated that waste management trucks will be made available for waste collection and subsequent disposal at government-approved dump sites, while adding that security agencies and environmental officers have been detailed to apprehend offenders and move them to the nearest mobile court for prosecution and warned residents against dumping refuse on pedestrian walkways, roadside, drainages, canals, and all other unapproved dump sites, emphasizing that it is a punishable offence under the state environmental law. It therefore enjoined the residents to utilize the opportunity to remove overgrown grasses, bushes, and clean up their homes, business premises, and drainages of any identified sources of nuisance or hazard, to sustain a clean and safe environment in the State.
